 Each constituency has roughly equal population
living within it.
 The member elected from each constituency is
called ‘Member of Parliament’ or ‘MP’.

state is sub-divided into Assembly
constituencies.
 The elected representatives are called - ’Members
of Legislative Assembly’ or ‘MLA’
 Each village or town is sub-divided into ‘wards’.



Thus, each parliamentary constituency has within it
several assembly constituencies, within which are
several wards.
Electoral Constituencies
Reserved Constituencies


Some constitutions are reserved for people who
come from scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled
tribe (ST). This applies to ‘Other Backward
Classes’ or ‘OBC’ as well.

better resources and give a chance to weaker
sections of society.

In an SC reserved constituency, only someone
from the SC’s can stand for elections.
