Notes

  • Parliamentary session lifecycle: Adjournment sine die ends a sitting, but prorogation is required to formally terminate a session.
  • Prorogation is an act of the President, which brings a session of Parliament to an end.
  • A session remains technically alive if not prorogued, allowing the government to reconvene the House without a fresh presidential summons.
  • Delimitation of parliamentary constituencies remains a subject of debate regarding the freezing of seat counts in the Lok Sabha.
  • The current strength of the Lok Sabha is 543 seats.
