What is the term of an elected MLA in Indian State Legislatures, unless dissolved prematurely?
5 years
The Constitution of India lays down a five-year term for the State Legislative Assembly from the date of its first sitting after a general election.
Before the completion of this term, the Assembly can be dissolved earlier by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister or under other constitutional provisions.
Hence, the normal term of an elected MLA is 5 years.
