EAC-PM recommends targeted splitting of seats for delimitation, shows model allowing 50% rise for all large States
The advisory council says it assembled a dataset on elections to LS seats from 2009 to 2024 to estimate a ‘statistical relationship’ between voter turnout, constituency size, and five compositional features of the constituency; the model results in increasing the size of the Lok Sabha to 824 seats and it is broadly in line with what the Centre had suggested in April, when it brought the Delimitation-related Bills but failed to pass them in Parliament
A recent recommendation from the EAC-PM suggests a targeted approach to seat allocation during delimitation, proposing a model that could increase the Lok Sabha's size to 824 seats. This model is based on an analysis of election data from 2009 to 2024, examining the statistical links between voter turnout, constituency size, and demographic factors. The proposed increase is comparable to figures previously put forth by the central government in April.
This recommendation could significantly alter the representation of states in the Lok Sabha, potentially impacting the balance of power and the electoral landscape.
