The maximum strength of the Legislative Assembly is fixed at 500 and the minimum strength at 60. It means that its strength varies from 60 to 500 depending on the population size of the State.
However, in states like Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, and Sikkim, the minimum strength is fixed at 30 and in the case of Mizoram and Nagaland, it is 40 and 46 respectively.
Further, some members of the legislative assemblies in Sikkim and Nagaland are also elected indirectly.
