The Mizoram Legislative Assembly is the unicameral legislature of Mizoram state in Northeast India. The seat of the legislative assembly is at Aizawl, the capital of the state. The assembly comprises 40 members[1] directly elected from single-seat constituencies. It sits for a term of five years, unless it is dissolved earlier. Early dissolution of state assemblies happens when the governing party (or alliance) loses confidence of the assembly. This leads to either the President's Rule being imposed on the state, or early elections being called. Mizoram is the fourth-smallest state in India, covering 21081km2; and the second-least populous state with a population of 1.10 million.[2] The Mizoram Legislative Assembly has existed since 1972, when it had 30 constituencies.

Since the independence of India, 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 STs and SCs.[3] [4] The 2011 census of India stated that the indigenous population constitutes 95% of the state's total population.[5] [6] The Scheduled Tribes have been granted a reservation of 39 seats in the Mizoram assembly, leaving only one (Aizawl East-I) unreserved.

History

Mizoram became a Union Territory of India in 1972, at which time it was assigned a 30-member legislative assembly and it had its first election. In 1986, after the Mizoram Peace Accord was signed, the 53rd Amendment to the Constitution of India was passed. Mizoram was officially converted into a state in February 1987, and the number of constituencies for its legislative assembly was increased to 40.[7] [8]
