Legislative assembly composition: census-based delimitation and seat readjustment govern electoral representation with transitional freezes. State Legislative Assembly composition sets membership limits and requires direct election from territorial constituencies, with constituency division aimed at uniform population-to-seat ratios using the most recently published census. After each census a designated authority shall readjust total seats and constituency boundaries under parliamentary law; such readjustment does not disturb current representation until the existing Assembly is dissolved and takes effect on a date the President specifies, with transitional provisions preserving earlier census references until specified future census figures are published.
