2026 Rajya Sabha elections

MPs are elected through indirect election by the members of the State legislative assemblies using the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. Each voter (MLA) ranks candidates in the order of preference (marking 1, 2, 3 and so on) under an open ballot system. Candidates have to reach a specific quota of votes in order to win a seat. \text{Quota} = \left( \frac{\text{Total valid votes}}{\text{Vacancies} + 1} \right) + 1 For a single-seat election, each ballot is valued at one. When multiple seats are filled, the ballot value is set to one hundred. A candidate is elected unopposed when the number of candidates matches the number of available seats after nominations and withdrawals period. == Schedule ==
