(Redirected from Draft:List of senators elected in the 2019 Philippine Senate election)

The 2019 Senate election in the Philippines occurred on May 13, 2019 to elect one-half of the Senate. The senators elected in 2019, together with those elected in 2016, comprise the Senate's delegation in the 18th Congress.

The proclamation of all the 12 senators was done nine days after Election Day, on May 22. five incumbents that ran successfully defended their seats, while three former and four new senators were elected.[1]

Manner of election

edit

Senators are elected on a nationwide, at-large basis via plurality-at-large voting system. A voter has twelve votes: the voter can vote for up to twelve candidates. Votes are tallied nationwide and the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes are elected to the Senate. The Commission on Elections administers elections for the Senate, with the Senate Electoral Tribunal deciding election disputes after a Senator has taken office.
