About Orissa Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha)

Orissa, like any other state in India, has specific geographic regions which are represented in its Legislative Assembly. These specific regions are called Assembly constituencies. When the present state of Orissa (Odisha) came into existence in independent India,the Orissa Vidhan Sabha had 107 Assembly constituencies. Out of these 107 constituencies, 91 assembly seats were reserved for General candidates, and 16 were reserved for candidates from Scheduled Tribes. Interestingly, no seat was reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates. It was only in the next Assembly elections in 1957 that 25 seats were reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates.

The number of assembly constituencies in the state was increased from 107 to 140 in the year 1961, when the third term of the Orissa Vidhan Sabha was elected. The present number of constituencies in Orissa (Odisha) is 147, out of which 90 assembly seats are meant for candidates belonging to the General category, 24 are reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates and 33 are reserved for the Scheduled Tribes. Each of these constituencies is represented by a Member of the Legislative Assembly, who voices the concerns of that particular constituency in the Vidhan Sabha. Members from each of these Assembly constituencies are elected directly by the voters in the Assembly elections, according to the Universal Adult Franchise. The elections are held after a period of every five years, if the Vidhan Sabha is not dissolved sooner. The supervision and responsibility of the elections to these assembly constituencies is carried out by a centralized, independent statutory body called the Election Commission.
