Legislative Council 

Earlier we said Andhra Pradesh has two houses. The second house is called Legis-lative Council and was created in 2007. It is a permanent house. Members of this house are elected for 6 years, known MLAs. To contest in this house person should be above 30 years of age. It consists of 50 members. 

Composition:

  • 17 members (1/3) are elected by the MLAs. 
  • 17 members (1/3) are elected by the members who were elected to Local Bodies like panchayats and municipalities. 
  • 3 or 4 members (1/12) from Graduates 
  • 3 or 4 members (1/12) from Teachers. 
  • 8 members (1/6) are nominated by the Governor.

In order to make any law in the state now, it has to get the approval of both the houses.
