Answers
Answer:
Members of the Lok Sabha are elected by adult universal suffrage and a first-past-the-post system to represent their respective constituencies, and they hold their seats for five years or until the body is dissolved by the President on the advice of the council of ministers.
Seats: 545 (543 Elected + 2 Nominated)
Explanation:
Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are the two houses of India's bicameral Parliament. Lok Sabha is the lower chamber (house of the people) of Parliament and Rajya Sabha is the upper chamber. The members of the Lok Sabha are elected through General Elections, held on the basis of universal adult suffrage.
As per the Constitution, Lok Sabha can have a maximum of 552 members out of which 530 are to be elected from the states, 20 the 7 Union Territories [Article 81] and 2 are nominated by the President from the Anglo-Indian community.
The total elective seats are distributed among the states in such a way that the proportion between the number of seats allotted to each state and the population of the state is practically sthe ame for all states.
To form the Central Government, a party needs 272 MPs and if a party doesn't have 272 MPs on its own, it can collaborate with other parties and form the government.
Number of seats: Maximum seats of the Lok Sabha is 552. A total of 550 seats from states and UT. 2 seats from Anglo Indian community).
