The 2016 election to the Senate of the Philippines will be the 32nd election to the Senate of the Philippines. The 12 seats of the senators elected in 2010 will be up on this election. The winners in this election will join the winners of the 2013 election to form the 17th Congress of the Philippines.

The Senate election will be a part of the 2016 general election where elections for President, Vice President, members of the House of Representatives, and all local officials, including those from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, will be held.

The election will be held on a plurality-at-large voting system, where the voter has 12 votes, each candidate getting one vote, and the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes being elected.

Electoral system

Main article: Philippine senatorial elections

Philippine senatorial elections are done via the plurality-at-large voting system: the entire country is one at-large "district", where a voter can vote up to twelve people (one vote per candidate), with the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes deemed being elected. Senators who are currently serving their second consecutive term are term limited, although they may run again in 2019. Only half of the seats are up in every senatorial election. The winning senators will replace the batch elected in 2010, and will join the batch elected in 2013 in the 17th Congress.

Each party has a slate of as many candidates as it can muster, although they don't usually exceed a 12-person ticket. If a party can't complete a full ticket, they may invite "guest candidates" to complete the ticket. They may even come other slates, and these guest candidates may not participate in electoral rallies by their adoptive party(ies), or may not cooperate at the Senate if elected. A coalition of different parties may be formed in cases where no party has the ability to complete a full ticket; a party may not include their entire slate on a coalition ticket. Independents may become guest candidates and be included in coalitions.

In general elections where senators and presidents are elected at the same time, the presidential candidates often have their own slates of senatorial candidates. This means voters have more choices unlike in midterm elections, when there are usually only two major contending political forces.

Winning candidates are proclaimed by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sitting as the National Board of Canvassers. Candidates are proclaimed senators-elect if the thirteenth place candidate no longer has a mathematical chance of surpassing that candidate. Post-proclamation disputes are handled by the Senate Electoral Tribunal, a body composed of six senators and three justices from the Supreme Court.

Coalitions

A coalition led by the Liberal Party of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas, the successor of Team PNoy coalition in 2013, and the United Nationalist Alliance of Vice President Jejomar Binay, are widely expected to put up senatorial slates. Aside from these coalitions, candidates running for president are also expected to put up their own slates.
