*Thanks Opposition for Collectively defeated Delimitation bill in loksabha...
*The Delimitation Bill, 2026, introduced in India's Lok Sabha on April 16, 2026, proposes to redraw parliamentary and assembly constituency boundaries and increase the Lok Sabha from 543 to 850 seats, aiming for representation based on 2011 census population figures. It aims to implement 33% women's reservation immediately.
Key Details and Usage Examples:
Purpose: To redraw, divide, or adjust territorial constituencies (constituency boundary realignment) and reallocate seats for Lok Sabha and state assemblies based on current population figures, repealing the 2002 Act.
Key Provisions: It sets up a new Delimitation Commission chaired by a Supreme Court judge to determine new boundaries.
Usage Example 1 (Seat Increase): The bill is expected to increase seats, for instance, potentially increasing Tamil Nadu's seats from 39 to 59 and Karnataka's from 28 to 42, based on updated population ratios.
Usage Example 2 (Women's Reservation): It provides the machinery to implement the 33% reservation for women by allocating specific seats for women on a rotational basis.
Usage Example 3 (SC/ST Seat Adjustment): It guides the commission to adjust the number of reserved seats for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in proportion to their population in a given state.
