Detailed Solution

India presently has 543 constituencies for the Lok Sabha elections. Representatives elected from each constituency are called Members of Parliament (MP). Each state is divided into 543 constituencies depending on its population and size. Each constituency is demarcated to be equally and proportionally represented in the Parliament. The number of constituencies corresponds to the number of seats in the Parliament. Thus, there are 543 seats in the Parliament, which further corresponds to 543 Members of Parliament. Previously, the Constitution provided for two nominated members from the Anglo-Indian community, which was discontinued by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2019.
