The Southern Leyte Provincial Board (Cebuano: Sangguniang Panlalawigan sa Habagatang Leyte) is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Southern Leyte.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into two legislative districts, each sending four members to the provincial board; the electorate votes for four members, with the four candidates with the highest number of votes being elected.[1] The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties. The vice governor is also elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.
