The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Parliament of India. Unlike the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha is not a continuous body. According to the Constitution of India, it has a maximum term of five years, following which the assembly is dissolved. The Lok Sabha currently consists of 543 members corresponding to as many territorial constituencies, each directly elected on the basis of universal adult franchise in a first-past-the-post system. Since 1952, fifteen Lok Sabhas have been convened, after conducting as many general elections.
