Constituency boundaries are periodically redrawn by the delimitation commission which tries to keep them as geographically compact areas, and with due consideration to existing boundaries of administrative units. The lastest census is used to draw the boundaries and every assembly constituency has to be completely within a parliamentary constituency.[6]: 4, Sect. 8–9 Since 1972, the Manipur Assembly has had 60 single-seat constituencies, each of which directly elects a representative[3]: 71, Ch. III, Art. 170, Sect. 1 based on a first past the post election.[7] Of these, 40 are in the Imphal Valley and 20 in the surrounding hill districts.[8][9]
Since the independence of India from the United Kingdom in 1947, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been given reservation status, guaranteeing political representation, and the Constitution lays down the general principles of positive discrimination for SCs and STs.[10][3]: 137 According to the 2011 census of India the Scheduled Castes constitute 3.8%, while the Scheduled Tribes constitute 35.1% of the population of the state.[11]: 8 The Scheduled Castes have been granted a reservation of 1 seat in the assembly, while 19 constituencies are reserved for candidates of the Scheduled Tribes.[12]: 6
