The members of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, together with the elected members of State Legislative Assemblies, form the Electoral College, which selects the President of India. The President is guaranteed to represent both the federal and state governments under this agreement.
The election is conducted using proportional representation with a single transferable vote method. In layman’s words, each voter (MPs and MLAs) casts a vote, but their vote has varying values. The value of an MLA’s vote varies per state, based on its population, although each MP’s vote has the same value.
To win, a candidate must win more than half of the total votes cast. The candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated and their votes are divided to the other contenders according to their choices if no candidate does this in the first round. Until one candidate obtains the majority, this process is repeated.
Elections are conducted by the Election Commission of India and the President holds office for a term of five years. Although the role is largely ceremonial, the president has important constitutional duties, such as signing bills into law and appointing key officials as prime minister.
