How is boundary demarcation done?
Delimiting the parliamentary and parliamentary constituencies was carried out in accordance with the procedures proposed in the Delimitation Act of 2002. The Delimitation Commission received assistance in the redrawing of the National Election Commissioner, the Chief Election Officer and Deputy Members of the State concerned, as well as the Indian Register and Census Commissioner and the recommendations made simultaneously.
The state government has no role in redesigning the boundaries of the constituencies. According to Articles 330 and 332 of the Indian Constitution, the seats of the intended castes and the intended tribes retained sections 330 and 332 of Articles 9(1)(1)(c) and 9(1)(d) strip. 2002.
As the ECI informed, under the provisions of the Delimitation Act of 2002, the Delimitation Commission at that time conducted public seats on all relevant state/union territories to listen to suggestions received from public/party/organization/ Draft proposals for objections or other circumstances are published in the Central and State Gazettes. Furthermore, after considering all suggestions/objects as draft proposals for WRT or public dispatch, the Delimitation Commission issued a final order in the Central and State Gazettes to obtain public information.
