Read Maersu's answer for the method that just "works".

If you want to customize, know that choices takes a list of tuples, ie (('val','display_val'), (...), ...)

Choices doc:

An iterable (e.g., a list or tuple) of 2-tuples to use as choices for this field.

from django.forms.widgets import Select


class ProvinceForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        CHOICES = Province.objects.all()

        model = Province
        fields = ('name',)
        widgets = {
            'name': Select(choices=( (x.id, x.name) for x in CHOICES )),
        }
