Can you explain how the readjustment of seats and territorial constituencies works under this clause?
Under this clause, the readjustment of seats and territorial constituencies in a State's Legislative Assembly is done by an authority determined by Parliament through legislation. This readjustment does not affect representation in the Legislative Assembly until the dissolution of the existing Assembly. The readjustment takes effect from a date specified by the President through an order, and until that readjustment takes effect, any election to the Legislative Assembly can be held on the basis of the territorial constituencies existing before the readjustment.

However, there is a provision stating that until the relevant figures for the first census taken after the year 2026 are published, it will not be necessary to readjust:

1. The total number of seats in the Legislative Assembly of each State as readjusted on the basis of the 1971 census.
2. The division of such State into territorial constituencies as may be readjusted on the basis of the 2001 census under this clause.
