The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second congressional districts.
Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Aklan were represented under the at-large district of the province of Capiz in the Malolos Congress from 1898 to 1899.
1414, enacted on April 25, 1956, created the province of Aklan from the western, Aklanon-speaking municipalities of Capiz.
However, in 1935, all senatorial districts were abolished when a unicameral National Assembly was installed under a new constitution following the passage of the Tydings–McDuffie Act, which established the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
Aklan has been represented in the lower house of various Philippine national legislatures since 1898, through its first and second congressional districts.
