All constituencies are
required to be delimited having regard to the distribution of population
in geographically compact areas, existing boundaries of administrative
units , facilities of communication , public convenience and other cognate
factors to ensure homogeneity in the creation of constituencies.
All constituencies for the
general seats are, as far as possible, equal in population.
The Election Commission,
which for this purpose is called the Delimitation Commission, publishes a
preliminary list of constituencies and invites representations thereon.
The Commission after
hearing and considering the representations , if any received by it ,
makes such amendments , alterations or modifications in the preliminary
list as may be necessary. It then publishes in the Official Gazette the
final report and the list of constituencies.
