The Gujarat Legislative Assembly is the unicameral state legislature of the state of Gujarat in western India.[1] It is housed in the Vidhan Sabha Bhavan building located in Gandhinagar, the capital of the state. The term of the assembly is five years, unless it is dissolved early.[a][3]:72 Gujarat is the fifth-largest state in India, covering 196,024 km2 (75,685 sq mi);[4] and the ninth-most populous state with a population of 60.4 million.[5]:2 The Gujarat Legislative Assembly has had fifteen terms since its creation in 1960. After the latest election in 2022, the assembly is governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party which won 156 out of the 182 seats. The Indian National Congress, the largest opposition party, has 17 seats.[6]

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 latest census is used to draw the boundaries and every assembly constituency has to be completely within a parliamentary constituency.[7]:4,Sect. 8–9 Since 1975, the Gujarat Assembly has had 182 single-seat constituencies, each of which directly elects a representative[3]:70 based on a first past the post election.[8]

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.[9][3]:137 According to the 2011 census of India the Scheduled Castes constitute 6.7% of the population of the state, while the Scheduled Tribes constitute 14.8%.[10]:13 The Scheduled Castes have been granted a reservation of 13 seats in the assembly, while 27 constituencies are reserved for candidates of the Scheduled Tribes.[11]:6 The constituency of Abdasa in Kutch district is the largest (6,278 km2); while Karanj in Surat district is the smallest (4 km2) by area, in the Gujarat Assembly.[12]
