Question

How are constituencies for Lok Sabha decided by the Election Commission?

✓

Answer

For Lok Sabha elections, the country is divided into 543 constituencies.
The representative elected from each constituency is called a Member of Parliament or an MP.
One of the features of a democratic election is that every vote should have equal value.

That is why, our constitution requires that each constituency should have a roughly equal population living within it.
