of People) and an upper house known as the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). The
Lok Sabha has 544 members (excluding the speaker) and the Rajya Sabha has 245
members. Election for the Lok Sabha is held every five years, unless the
government calls an election earlier. All Indians over the age of 18 have the
right to vote. The Lok Sabha can be dissolved but the Rajya Sabha cannot. There
