Legislative districts of Batangas#1943–1944

Batangas was initially composed of one representative district, wherein it elected four representatives, at large, to the Malolos Congress in 1898. It was later divided into three representative districts in 1907 for the Philippine Assembly,{{cite PH act|chamber=Act|number=1582|date=January 9, 1907|url=https://lawyerly.ph/laws/view/l5054|title=An Act to Provide for the Holding of Elections in the Philippine Islands, for the Organization of the Philippine Assembly, and for Other Purposes|accessdate=September 4, 2022}} with a minor adjustment of district boundaries as mandated by Act No. 3378 (enacted on December 3, 1927) taking effect starting in the 1928 elections. When seats for the upper house of the Philippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the province formed part of the fifth senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate. It remained so until 1941.

In the disruption caused by World War II, two delegates represented the province in the National Assembly of the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic: one was the provincial governor (an ex officio member), while the other was elected through a provincial assembly of KALIBAPI members during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, the province retained its three pre-war representative districts.

The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and elected four representatives, at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Batangas was reapportioned into four congressional districts under the new Constitution{{cite web |title=1987 Constitution of the Philippines - Apportionment Ordinance |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/constitutions/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines-ordinance/ |access-date=June 13, 2016}} which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.

The passage of Republic Act No. 10673{{cite PH act|chamber=RA|number=10673|title=An Act Reapportioning the Province of Batangas into six (6) Legislative Districts|date=August 19, 2015|access-date=June 13, 2016|author=Congress of the Philippines|url=http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%2010673.pdf}} on August 19, 2015, increased the number of the province's representatives from four to six. R.A. No. 10673 separated Batangas City and Lipa from the second and fourth districts, and constituted these cities into the province's fifth and sixth districts, respectively. These two new districts elected their first separate representatives beginning in the 2016 elections.

The province was last redistricted in 2015, wherein the province gained two seats in the House. The province's current congressional delegation composes of three members of the {{Color box|{{party color|Nacionalista Party}}|border=darkgray}} Nacionalista Party, one member of {{Color box|{{party color|Lakas-CMD}}|border=darkgray}} Lakas-CMD, and one member of the {{Color box|{{party color|Nationalist People's Coalition}}|border=darkgray}} Nationalist People's Coalition. All six incumbent representatives are part of the majority bloc.
