Notes

1. The Representative Assembly was converted into the Legislative Assembly of Pondicherry on 1 July 1963 and its members were deemed to have been elected to the Assembly. ^{[5] : 966} Thus, the First Legislative Assembly was formed without an election. Elections for the assembly have been held since 1964.
