Lakshadweep Lok Sabha constituency, Parliamentary constituency in Lakshadweep, India.
The Lakshadweep Lok Sabha constituency covers the entire Union Territory of Lakshadweep, representing all inhabited islands scattered across the Arabian Sea. The electoral district includes multiple island communities with distinct local conditions and governance needs.
The constituency began its electoral history in 1967 as a newly established parliamentary district. It has evolved as a distinct electoral unit serving the island communities of the region.
The electoral district maintains reserved status for Scheduled Tribes, reflecting the demographic composition and social structure of the Lakshadweep islands.
Polling stations are distributed across the different islands to enable residents to participate in national elections despite the geographical separation. The scattered island geography requires special organizational arrangements for conducting elections.
This electoral district is among India's smallest by voter population, with around 47,000 registered voters recorded in recent elections. The low voter count reflects the remote island location and limited population base of the region.
