One aspect of the debate on fresh delimitation of parliamentary constituencies based on recent census data, rather than on the population figures from 1971, which has not received enough attention, is how much larger the strength of the Lok Sabha could be.

While rightly discussing the instrumental modalities of delimitation, we must also address the question of the representative character of our democratic system.

The delimitation exercise in Assam has not only redrawn the boundaries of the constituencies but also political fault lines of the state.

The delimitation of J&K has been a structure-altering exercise. This is another addition to a plethora of seismic changes that the erstwhile state of J&K has witnessed since 5 August 2019.

As it stands, India runs the risk of “gerrymandering by default”: where the constituency boundaries are fixed without providing enough opportunity for revision and readjustment given the demographic changes taking place.

It is to be hoped that in preparing and considering the new law on delimitation, the government and parliament will keep an open mind and afford opportunities for eliciting the views of a wide spectrum of people.

Delimitation of constituencies, or the process of redrawing the electoral boundaries has remained a subject of much political debate in India. This thread of EPW articles attempts to trace the political contours of delimitation. https://t.co/TBieXXw8Ha
