Before the independence of Pakistan in 1947, members of the first term of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan were elected through an indirect election held after June by the votes of the members of the legislative assemblies of Assam, Bengal, and Punjab. Representatives from Baluchistan, the North-West Frontier, and Sind were taken directly through the earlier 1946 Constituent Assembly elections.
