One member is elected from each constituency.

Members of the Legislative Assembly are clected by registered voters of the state aged $18$ years and above by secret ballot. Elected member is called $M.L.A. M.L.A.$ means Member of the Legislative Assembly.
The term of the Legislative Assembly is five years. It dissolves when Ils term expires.
