Presidential Election 2022: Elected MLAs from across the country will vote for the presidential election on Monday. In India, the President is elected by Electoral College.
That is, the people do not directly elect their president, but the people elected by their vote do. In this election, the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of all the states and elected MPs in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha cast their votes.
Nominated members cannot vote in Parliament on behalf of the President. At the same time, the members of the Legislative Councils of the states also do not have the right to vote, because they are not the members elected by the people. MLAs participate in this voting. The value of vote of the MLA of each state is different.
