India's government has introduced the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026, which proposes to restart the country's delimitation process — the redrawing of electoral constituency boundaries — and lift a freeze on seat reallocation that has been in place since 1976. The bill would establish a Delimitation Committee tasked with determining the number of seats in the Lok Sabha (India's lower house of parliament) and state assemblies, redrawing constituency boundaries, and identifying seats reserved for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women. The legislation is set to be introduced during a special session of parliament beginning April 16, and marks a significant shift in how India's political representation is apportioned in line with population changes.
