Members of the Legislative Councils serve a fixed six-year term.[3] One-third of the membership retires every two years, but members are eligible for re-election. Unlike the lower house, the composition of the council is not determined by direct popular vote. As per law, the council's membership cannot exceed 40 seats; currently the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council is composed of 36 seats, as per section 50 of the state constitution.[3][4]
