A state is divided into many electoral constituencies for the state assembly on the basis of population. People of each constituency elect their MLAs. The MLA represents people of the constituency from where he gets elected. A candidate needs to fight elections to become an MLA. The candidate who secures the maximum number of votes is declared a winner; to become an MLA.
