How is the Speaker and Deputy Speaker chosen for a State Legislative Assembly?
The Speaker and Deputy Speaker of a State Legislative Assembly are chosen by the members of the Assembly. As soon as possible after the formation of the Assembly, two members are chosen to be the Speaker and Deputy Speaker. When an office becomes vacant, the Assembly chooses another member to fill that role. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker can resign by writing under their hand to the relevant official, or they can be removed from their office by a majority vote of all members in the Assembly after at least 14 days' notice has been given.
