The Meghalaya Legislative Assembly is a unicameral legislature in the government of the state of Meghalaya in India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/States/meghalaya/meghalaya-w.htm )〕 Constituted as a directly elected body in 1972, it comprises 60 members, filled through direct elections held every five years.〔 Like other Indian states, Meghalaya has a parliamentary system of government. The executive branch of the Meghalaya government is derived from the Legislative Assembly. ==History== In independent India, the areas now constituting the state of Meghalaya were part of the state of Assam and represented in the Assam Legislative Assembly. The Indian Parliament passed the Assam Reorganisation (Meghalaya) Act in 1969, which led to the establishment of an autonomous state of Meghalaya within Assam on April 2, 1970.〔 A legislature of 37 members for the new autonomous state was established, with representatives elected indirectly by the autonomous direct councils.〔〔 The first sitting of the assembly took place in Tura on April 14, 1970. In 1971, the Indian Parliament passed the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, which converted Meghalaya from an autonomous state within Assam to a full member state of the Indian Union.〔 The State of Meghalaya was officially formed on January 21, 1972.〔 The Legislative Assembly was then reconstituted as a directly elected body. The regions of Meghalaya are represented in the Assembly, with 29 members elected from Khasi Hills, 7 from Jaintia Hills and 24 from Garo Hills.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Homepage: Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Government of Meghalaya )〕 The eighth elections for the Legislative Assembly were held on 3 March 2008.
