Legislative districts of Nueva Ecija#2nd District

Nueva Ecija constituted Nueva Ecija into a single assembly district for the Malolos Congress, wherein it was represented by three delegates, from 1898 to 1899. Philippine Commission Act No. 1582 later revived the district for the first elections to the lower chamber of the bicameral Philippine Legislature in 1907.{{cite book|chapter-url=https://archive.org/stream/actsphilippinec02unkngoog#page/n86/mode/2up|title=Acts of the Philippine Commission, No. 1-1800 - Volume X|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|place=Washington, D.C.|author=United States Department of War |chapter=Act No. 1582 — An Act to provide for the holding of elections in the Philippine Islands, for the organization of the Philippine Assembly, and for other purposes|year=1901 }} The province was later divided into two districts with the enactment of Act No. 3336 on December 7, 1926;{{cite book|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.35112102880749&view=1up&seq=197|title=Public Laws Enacted by the Philippine Legislature, during the Period July 30, 1926 to February 10, 1927, comprising Acts Nos. 3269 to 3346 - Volume 22 |publisher=Bureau of Printing |place=Manila |author=Philippine Legislature |author-link=Philippine Legislature |pages=102–103 |chapter=Act No. 3336 — An Act to amend sections one hundred and sixteen and one hundred and twenty-three of Act Nummbere Twenty-seven hundred and eleven, known as the Administrative Code.|series=Laws, etc }} their separate representatives were first elected 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 third senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate.

During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in the Second World War, two delegates represented Nueva Ecija in the unicameral National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic: one was the provincial governor (an ex officio member), while the other was indirectly elected through local conventions of KALIBAPI party members.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4XsqAAAAMAAJ |page=94 |publisher=E.

The pre-war two-representative district configuration was restored upon the re-establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, and lasted until the disbandment of Congress in 1972 as a result of the declaration of Martial Law. Two chartered cities created during this period — Cabanatuan (1950) and Palayan (1965) — remained part of the second congressional district of Nueva Ecija, by virtue of Republic Act No. 526 (§90){{cite PH act|chamber=RA|number=526|url=https://thecorpusjuris.com/legislative/republic-acts/ra-no-526.php |date=June 16, 1950 |author=Congress of the Philippines |website=The Corpus Juris |access-date=March 20, 2020 |title=An Act Creating the City of Cabanatuan}} and Republic Act No. 4475 (§42), respectively.{{cite PH act|chamber=RA|number=4475 |url=https://thecorpusjuris.com/legislative/republic-acts/ra-no-4475.php |date=June 19, 1965 |author=Congress of the Philippines |website=The Corpus Juris |access-date=March 20, 2020 |title= An Act Establishing the New Capital of the Province of Nueva Ecija, Creating the City of Palayan, Providing a Charter Therefor, and for Other Purposes}}

Nueva Ecija was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region III from 1978 to 1984, and elected four representatives, at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984.

The province was reapportioned into four congressional districts{{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=March 20, 2020 |date=1987 |website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines}} under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
