Composition of Legislative Assemblies: mandate for direct election, equal population-to-seat ratio and census-based readjustment effective after assembly dissolution. Each State Assembly must have membership within prescribed minimum and maximum limits and be constituted by direct election from territorial constituencies. Constituencies are to be delimited so that the population-to-seat ratio is, as practicable, uniform across the State, with 'population' taken from the most recent published census. After each census, total seats and constituency boundaries are to be readjusted by authority and manner prescribed by Parliament, but such readjustment does not affect the composition of the sitting Assembly until its dissolution.
