THE CONSTITUTION (ONE Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026 seeks to amend Article 81 of the Constitution, which pertains to the composition of Lok Sabha.
-
The amendment proposes to increase the total strength to 850, up from the current limit of 550.
As of date, Article 81 (2) and (3), freeze Lok Sabha seats as per the 1971 Census and Assembly seats as per the 2001 Census, “until the relevant figures for the first Census taken after the year 2026 have been published”. In normal course, this would have meant the 2031 Census. But the 2021 Census was delayed.
