The First Lok Sabha was constituted on 17 April 1952 after India's first general election. It completed its full tenure of five years and was dissolved on 4 April 1957.[1] The year 1951 is often misleadingly associated with the election for first Lok Sabha. That is because polling for 3-4 constituencies was held in late 1951 before snow would cover that region. Polling for rest of the seats (97-98%) was conducted in December 1951 and January 1952, a few seats voted in February 1952, and Lok Sabha was constituted in April 1952. Ninety constituencies elected two members each, a practice that some constituencies followed even in 1957.[2]
