Answer

The members of the State Legislative Assembly are elected through direct election by universal adult franchise using the system of secret ballot. For the purpose of election each State is divided into territorial constituencies in such a manner that the ratio between the population of each constituency and the number of seats allotted to it are the same throughout the State. Its members are chosen by direct election on the basis of adult suffrage from territorial constituencies.
