Current list of constituencies

Constituencies were delimited in 2007 based on the 2001 Census of India and following draft proposals. Some constituencies are reserved for candidates from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.[2][3] The first general elections following the delimitation exercise were those of 2011.
