Assam New Constituency List 2023 PDF
The recent draft proposal released by the Election Commission of India regarding the delimitation of Assembly and Parliamentary Constituencies for Assam marks a significant step in the electoral process of the state. This proposal, in accordance with Section 8-A of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, outlines the allocation of seats for Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes in both the Legislative Assembly and the House of People.
Within the Legislative Assembly of Assam, the draft proposal suggests the allocation of 19 seats for Scheduled Tribes out of the total 126 seats. Additionally, 2 seats are earmarked for Scheduled Tribes out of the 14 seats allocated in the House of People for the State of Assam. Similarly, the proposal includes the allocation of 9 seats for Scheduled Castes in the Legislative Assembly, with 1 seat designated for Scheduled Castes in the House of People.
The delimitation of all Assembly and Parliamentary Constituencies in Assam is based on the 2001 Census data, as specified in Article 170 and Article 82 of the Constitution. The utilization of the 2001 Census figures, as provided by the Census Commissioner, serves as the foundational basis for the delineation of these constituencies. It is crucial to adhere to the constitutional provisions outlined in Articles 170 and 82, which dictate that the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly and the House of People in Assam remains unchanged at 126 and 14, respectively.
Articles 170 and 82 stipulate that any alterations to the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly of each State and the allocation of seats in the House of the People to the States are prohibited until the release of the relevant census data following the first census conducted after the year 2026. This statutory provision ensures stability and consistency in the representation of various constituencies until updated demographic information becomes available post-2026.
The draft proposal for the delimitation of Assembly & Parliamentary Constituencies for Assam reflects a meticulous and constitutionally guided process aimed at ensuring fair and representative electoral structures in the state. By adhering to the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, and the constitutional mandates outlined in Articles 170 and 82, the Election Commission of India seeks to uphold the principles of democratic governance.
