Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The Representative Assembly was converted into the Legislative Assembly of Pondicherry on 1 July 1963 and its members were deemed to have been elected to the Assembly.[5]: 966  Thus, the First Legislative Assembly was formed without an election. Elections for the assembly have been held since 1964.
