List of constituencies of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly
The Karnataka Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral legislature of Karnataka state in India . Karnataka is one of the six states in India, where the state legislature is bicameral , comprising two houses. The two houses are the Vidhan Sabha (lower house) and the Vidhan Parishad (upper house).
In summer, the seat of the Legislative Assembly is in Bangalore , the capital of the state, while in winter it is at Belagavi , in the northern part of the state. The term of the Legislative Assembly is five years, unless dissolved earlier. Presently, it comprises 224 members who are directly elected from single-seat constituencies.
Since the independence of India, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been given Reservation status , guaranteeing political representation, and the Constitution lays down the general principles of positive discrimination for SCs and STs.[ 1] [ 2] : 35, 137 The 2011 census of India stated that indigenous people constitute 7% of the state's total population, while people from the Scheduled Castes constitute 17.5% of the total population. Accordingly, the Scheduled Tribes have been granted a reservation of 15 seats in the assembly, while 36 constituencies are reserved for candidates of the Scheduled Castes.[ 3]
