    Ok cool, so that means the candidates each party fields are outside people, i.e the candidates they field may be just about anyone?

    Elections
    to Rajya sabha are conducted every 2 years. The quota for each state is
    fixed as per Schedule 4 of the constitution. Elections to 1/3 rd of
    these seats occur every 2 years.

    Suppose the election is for 10
    seats and for simplicity let us assume there are only 2 parties. Of 100
    seats in Legislative Assembly suppose Party X has 80 seats and Party Y
    has 20 seats.Both party fields 10 candidates each i.e. in total 20
    candidates are fielded!

    To win a candidate must acquire following number of votes :
    Quotient of ( Number of MLAs/(No. of seats contested + 1)) + 1.

    For our case, a candidate requires :
    (100/(10+1)) + 1 = 10 votes to win.

    Election process :
    Members
    dont vote for each seat. If that had been the case then only the ruling
    party representatives will make it through.Rather, they are given a
    paper with the names of all 20 candidates. They have to give their
    preferences for each candidate as 1,2,3,…..so on till 20. If 10 or
    more members choose a candidate as their first choice, he gets elected.
    So the opposition with 20 seats can get 2 members elected.The ruling
    party on the other hand can get only 8 members elected (with 80 MLAs
    giving 10 votes each to their party candidate). Thus 2 candidate of
    party X and 8 candidates of party Y are redundant.

    Single Transferable Vote :

    Only option no.1 will be counted as the
    vote. But if the requisite number of
    candidates do not get elected in this
    process,
    the candidate with the minimum no.of votes (members putting him as
    no.1) will be eliminated. The votes of these members will now be
    transferred to their respective second choices (ones marked as no.2).We
    use the same system for election of
    the President of India.

    Usually what happens is that parties
    wont field candidates for all
    seats.Depending on their proportional
    representation in the assembly, they
    decide after a meeting and field
    candidates. That is, Party X will field 8
    and Party Y will field 2. All of them will
    get elected without any problem

    So after the election, they cease to be MLA and becomes an MP? In that case, what happens to the vacant MLA seat in the SLA?

    Great score man. I have a question:
    Are elected RS members necessarily an acting MLA? In that case, how would she/he function both in the Parliament and the SLA simultaneously?

  21. Thanks venky

  22. As such even to take re.1 the government needs the approval of parliament i.e. it will be discussed and then VOTED by the members.. This is called voted expenditure
    Whereas there are some very obvious expenditures (like salary of president..CJI..etc..) which don’t need to be voted (but can be discussed)… They are charged form the consolidated fund of India directly without voting in parliament and thus called CHARGED EXPENDITURES.

    The provisions of the Cantonments Act of 2006, a central government act, are applicable to a cantonment board. A cantonment board functions under the administrative control of union defence ministry. Now, there are 62 cantonment boards in the country.
