The Delimitation Commission on Friday said that delimitation will be conducted on the basis of the 2011 census and the final draft will be prepared after taking all demands and recommendations into account. While addressing a press conference, Chief Election Commissioner of India Sushil Chandra said, "The first full-fledged delimitation commission was formed in 1981 which could submit its recommendation after 14 years in 1995. It was based on the 1981 census. Thereafter, no delimitation has taken place." The Delimitation Commission arrived in Jammu and Kashmir on Thuesday and interacted with dozens of political leaders and civil society groups to get inputs on the exercise to redraw electoral constituencies in the union territory.
