STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Articles 81 and 170 lay down the maximum number of seats in Parliament and in the Legislative Assemblies of States, and also certain principles to be followed in allocating seats in the House of the People among the States and in the State Legislative Assemblies, but have left the actual allocation of such seats to be provided by law. Article 171 of the Constitution lays down the maximus minimum number of seats in the Legislative Council of a State, and also specifies the various methods in which such seats shall be filled, but the actual number of seats to be filled by each such method has been left to be provided by law. The Bill seeks to provide for the allocation of seats in the House of the People and in the Legislative Assemblies and Legislative Councils of States. In allotting seats in the House of the People to the different States and in fixing the total number of seats in the Legislative Assemblies of different States, the present population of each State as March, 1950, estimated in consultation with the Census Commissioner for India, has taken into account. The Bill also seeks to confer on the President the powers to delimit, after consultation with the Election Commission, the various constituencies for the purpose of elections to fill seats in the Home of the People and in the Legislative Assemblies and Legislative Councils of States. It further provides for the registration of electors for the Parliamentary constituencies and for the Assembly and Council constituencies, and the qualifications and disqualifications for such registration. A special provision has been included for relaxation of the residence qualification in the case of displaced persons who migrated before the 25th day of July, 1949 to India from the territory of Pakistan. Provisions have been made for the preparation of electoral rolls, the period of currency of such rolls, and the revision and correction of such rolls during such period in special cases. Certain action was already taken by the Constituent Assembly Secretariat for the preparation for the electoral rolls for elections to the House of the People and the Legislative Assemblies of the States. A provision has accordingly been included in the Bill for the validation of such acts. NEW DELHI: The 11th April, 1950, B. R. AMBEDKAR.
