The Legislative Districts of Capiz, namely the first and second districts, are the representations of the Province of Capiz in the Philippine House of Representatives. Capiz was divided into three legislative districts until 1957, when Aklan was granted its own representative, reducing it to two legislative districts. It was part of the representation of Region VI from 1978 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1986 it elected 2 assemblymen at-large. Romblon was last represented as part of the third district of Capiz in 1919.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or districts:
“Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
