elected members of each state's Legislative Assembly (lower house of the state legislature);
elected members of each union territory possessing a Legislative assembly [i.e. Delhi, (Jammu & Kashmir not included)[3] and Puducherry etc.]
Weighing of votesedit
The value of votes cast by elected members of the state legislative assemblies and both houses of parliament are determined by the provisions of article 55(2) of the Constitution of India.[4] The details of number of voters and votes for the presidential election are given below.[5] Per the 84th Amendment, the 1971 census is used, and will continue to be used until 2026.[2]
The formula for determining the number of votes held by an MLA is:
That is, the average constituency size, determined by the 1971 census, in his/her state or union territory, divided by 1,000.
The number of votes for MLAs are as follows:
Name of the State/Union Territory
Number of State Legislative Assembly seats (elective)
The value of an MP's vote is calculated by dividing the total value of all MLAs' votes by the number of MPs. The formula for determining the number of votes held by an MP is:
That is, the total Members of Parliament (Elected) = Lok Sabha (543) + Rajya Sabha (233) = 776
Value of each vote = 549,495 / 776 = 708.11, rounded to 708
Total value of votes of Parliament = 776 × 708 = 549,408
^The Constitution of 1950 use the term Single transferable vote, which is now used for a system with multiple-member constituencies. When there is only one of the latter, the system is now called Instant-runoff voting
