Sikkim State Council">State Council (Sikkim)">Sikkim State Council (1953–1975)

The State Council was established in 1953 by the then Chogyal His Majesty Tashi Namgyal. It had 18 members, of which 12 were elected and six appointed by the Chogyal. Of the 12 elected members, six were for the Nepali community and six for the Lepcha and the Bhutia communities. It was later increased to 14 elected + 6 appointed, then the elected seats were increased 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.
