    The Philippines has a presidential form of government where the president and vice president are elected directly by plurality vote. Elections use a single-member district system with a categorical ballot where voters select only one candidate. Voters choose personalities rather than parties. Legislative elections for the House of Representatives also occur through direct voting, with some seats reserved for national, regional, and sectoral parties through a party-list system established in the Party-List System Act of 1995. This electoral system can impact representation, participation, and conflict management in Philippine politics and governance.
