Delimitation Bill, 2026

Common card · No. 433381

The Delimitation Bill, 2026, was introduced in Lok Sabha on 16 April 2026 by Arjun Ram Meghwal, the Minister of Law. The bill intends to increase the number of seats in the Lok Sabha from 543 to 850. 815 of the 850 members will be elected from the States and 35 members will be elected from the Union territories. The bill allows for the constitution of the Delimitation Commission of India to undertake the exercise of delimitation before the completion of the 2027 census of India, thus facilitating a shorter time for the reservation of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the legislative assemblies.
