Frequently Asked Questions
How are the seats of the House of People allocated among the States and UTs?
The seats of the House of People (Lok Sabha) are allocated based on the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission set up under Delimitation Act passed by the Parliament.
What is the most important factor in allocating seats to a particular state?:
The most important factor is the population of the State. The 1971 Census population is used as a base for allocation, due to a constitutional freeze.
As per Article 81(3) of the Constitution the seats should be allocated in such a manner that the ratio of population to seats is roughly equal among states.
What is Delimitation?:
The literal meaning of the word Delimitation is the act of fixing the limits or boundaries of something. So, in context of elections, delimitation refers to drawing or redrawing the boundaries of constituencies.
Why is periodical Delimitation necessary?:
The population growth experienced by any country is generally not uniform and some constituencies may see substantial growth while others may see no or even negative growth. Since democracy essentially aims to be a government of the people, it becomes necessary to ensure proportional representation of people as far as possible.
How many members did the first Lok Sabha have?:
The first Lok Sabha, formed after the first general elections had a total of 489 elected Members of Parliament and 2 nominated members.
