Sikkim State Council (1953–1975)

The State Council was established in 1953 by the then Chogyal His Majesty Tashi Namgyal.^[1] It had 18 members, of which 12 were elected and six (including the President) appointed by the Chogyal.^[1] Of the 12 elected members, six were for the Nepali community and six for the Lepcha and the Bhutia communities.^[1] It was later increased to 14 elected + 6 appointed, then the elected seats were incresed to 18 but the number of apponted members remained 6. 1973 elections saw a huge voter rigging. In 1974, the first elections with Universal Sufferage were held in Sikkim and hence 32 constituencies were decided with all the members elected by the people.
