Delimitation stands for the defining of the boundaries and fixing limits or boundaries of Lok Sabha and state Assembly seats on the basis of population. A four-member Delimitation Commission, including a member of the EC, carries out this task.
With the commencement of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 got the nod of Parliament, the Election Commission on August 13 held an internal meeting on the delimitation of constituencies ahead of elections to the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora and his colleagues were briefed by senior officers on the new law at the meeting.
Now, the Delimitation Commission would start the process as per the law. With the Election Commission recently held internal discussions on the delimitation of constituencies ahead of elections to the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, former Chief Election Commissioner and ex-officio member of the Delimitation Commission N.
