Why this matters

Delimitation is the process of redrawing electoral boundaries to ensure fair representation based on population changes, which can significantly alter political landscapes and the balance of power in the Lok Sabha. Increasing the number of Lok Sabha seats to 850 would be a major structural change to India's parliamentary system, impacting representation and legislative dynamics.
