0State elections in India are governed by Part XV (Articles 324–329) of the Constitution of India, which ensures free and fair elections under the supervision of the Election Commission of India. The Governor calls for elections to the State Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council, where applicable, as provided under Articles 168–191. Each Legislative Assembly is directly elected by the people of the state through universal adult suffrage under Article 326, following the principle of one person, one vote. The Election Commission, an independent constitutional body under Article 324, controls the conduct, supervision, and direction of elections, ensuring adherence to constitutional mandates, electoral laws, and democratic principles. Disputes regarding elections are adjudicated by the High Courts under Article 329(b), maintaining constitutional integrity and democratic representation at the state level.
