Electoral
College
·
People do not directly elect the
President
·
Members of Legislative Assembly, Lok
Sabha & Rajya Sabha vote to elect the President
·
Nominated Members of Parliament do
not have the right to vote
Vote
value
The votes of members of the
legislature and parliament are not treated equally as like our votes.
Vote
Value of Members of State Legislature –
(Population of State / Number of
Elected Members of Legislative Assembly)
X 1000
* Population in 1971 Census is taken
into account
For
example
Tamil Nadu
Population - Population in 1971 -
4,11,99,168
Members of Legislative Assembly –
Present strength – 234
= (4,11,99,168 / 234) * 1000
= 176
Vote value of a legislator – 176
Total vote value of Tamil Nadu
assembly members = 234*176 = 41,184
Value
of votes for Members of Parliament –
Total Value of Votes of Members of
Legislative Assembly / Number of Members of Parliament.
For
example
Total vote value of members of
Legislative Assembly of Indian states = 5,49,474
Number of Members of Parliament =
Lok Sabha (543) + Rajya Sabha (233) = 776
= 5,49, 474 / 776 = 708
