Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
President is elected by an electoral college comprising MPs and MLAs (Article 54). Each vote’s value is based on state population, ensuring federal balance. Vice President is chosen by MPs alone (Article 66). Voting is through proportional representation with a single transferable vote. Constitutional provisions ensure these offices represent national consensus. Eligibility requires Indian citizenship, 35+ years of age, and no profit-of-office. Disputes are decided by the Supreme Court. The Vice President also chairs the Rajya Sabha. Understanding these elections clarifies how top constitutional positions are filled via indirect democracy, reflecting the Union’s and states’ collective will.
