  • The next delimitation exercise, or redrawing of constituency boundaries, is scheduled to be held in 2026.
  • The bill was officially introduced in the Lok Sabha on September 12, 1996 by the UPA government.
  • It was referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee chaired by Geeta Mukherjee.
  • Women account for almost half of India's 950 million registered voters but make for only 15% of parliament and around 10% of state legislatures.
