Also, the former senatorial districts were not used; instead voting was done nationwide as one at-large district. The succeeding Senate elections would be held every two years, with eight seats to be disputed in every election.Philippine Electoral Almanac 2013 The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office 17 http://pcdspo.gov.ph/pub/201305may-election-almanac.php dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140409023000/http://pcdspo.gov.ph/pub/201305may-election-almanac.php 2014-04-09Liang Dapen Philippine Parties & Politics: A Historical Study of National Experience in Democracy The next election was to be on 1943, but due to the intervention of World War II, no elections were until 1946, where the seats supposedly up in 1943 and 1945 were disputed.
