- It will remove the freeze on delimitation imposed since the 1971 Census (extended till 2026).
- The process is based on Articles 82 and 170 of the Constitution.
- A Delimitation Commission headed by a retired Supreme Court judge, with the Chief Election Commissioner and State Election Commissioners, will conduct the exercise.
- The Commission will ensure equal population representation based on “one person, one vote, one value”.
- Its orders will have legal force and cannot be challenged in any court.
