History

edit

In 1962 the first Gujarat Legislative Assembly was elected with 154 seats. In 1966 the number was raised to 166. In 1971 the number was raised to 182. In 1976 the government imposed a moratorium on further changes until after the 2001 Census of India.[1]

Following the 2001 Census of India, a delimitation commission was set up, with Justice Kuldip Singh, a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India, as its chairperson. The order from the delimitation commission was implemented in 2008.[1] The following is the list of the constituencies established by the 2008 order.[2]

Abdasa in Kutch district is the largest (6278 km2) while Karanj in Surat district is the smallest (4 km2) constituency by area, in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly.[3]
