# Could post-2026 delimitation change the balance of representation between Indian states?

As India looks beyond the current freeze on constituency readjustment, delimitation is becoming a federal question as much as an electoral one. A process based on population could affect how many representatives different states send to the Lok Sabha, raising concerns about how population growth and representation should be balanced.

How can India update constituency boundaries while maintaining trust between states with different population trends? What principles should guide the debate so that representation feels fair across the country?
