The implications of the amendment made by the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution in its application to the State of Assam are that the Bodoland Territorial Council shall now consist of not more than forty-six members, with thirty of these seats being reserved for the Scheduled Tribes. Additionally, five seats are designated for non-tribal communities, and five open seats are available for all communities. The remaining six seats will be nominated by the Governor from among unrepresented communities in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District, with at least two of these nominees being women. These members have the same rights and privileges as elected members, including voting rights.
