At present, how many Assembly seats are there in Madhya Pradesh?

Concept

A legislative assembly’s seat strength is the number of territorial constituencies fixed for that house under the applicable delimitation framework. It is different from the number of members physically present on a day or the seating capacity of the chamber.

For a current-seat question, use the officially notified constituency total and count sanctioned seats even if a constituency is temporarily vacant.

Application

1. Identify the institution as the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly, not the Lok Sabha or a municipal body.

2. Check the official assembly-constituency total. Election Commission material describes elections for all 230 Assembly Constituencies in Madhya Pradesh.

3. Therefore, the present sanctioned strength is 230 seats.

Contrast

• 235 seats is five more than the notified assembly-constituency total.

• 225 seats is five fewer than the notified assembly-constituency total.

• 220 seats is ten fewer than the notified assembly-constituency total.

Cross-check

The Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly’s own information also states that the current number of members is 230, independently matching the Election Commission’s constituency total.

Result: Madhya Pradesh has 230 Assembly seats.
