The Government of Uttarakhand also known as the State Government of Uttarakhand, or locally as State Government, is the supreme governing authority of the Indian state of Uttarakhand and its 13 districts. It consists of an excecutive, led by the Governor of Uttarakhand, a judiciary and a legislative branch.
Like other states in India, the head of state of Uttarakhand is the Governor, appointed by the President of India on the advice of the Central government. His or her post is largely ceremonial. The Chief Minister is the head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers. Dehradun is the capital of Uttarakhand, and houses the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and the secretariat. The Uttarakhand High Court, located in Nainital exercises jurisdiction over the whole state.[1]
The present Legislative Assembly of Uttarakhand is unicameral, consisting of 70 Member of the Legislative Assembly (M.L.A). Its term is 5 years, unless sooner dissolved.[2]
