how does a president elected on the basis of second preference votes . please explain it
Answers
Answer:
The electors will include all elected Members of Legislative Assemblies and Members of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha). People nominated to a state's legislative assembly (for example, Peter Fanthome from Uttar Pradesh) or to the Rajya Sabha (such as Sachin Tendulkar or Subramanian Swamy), like the rest of us, cannot vote in the Presidential election 2017.
Counting of votes for the Presidential election will take place on July 20 and on July 25, a day after incumbent Pranab Mukherjee demits office, India will get its 14th President.
This will be the 15th time an election is held for the office of the President of India - there have been only 13 Presidents as Dr Rajendra Prasad won the first two elections, in 1952 and 1957.
The process for electing the President of India is quite unlike elections to the Lok Sabha or a state Legislative Assembly.
For example, each elector's vote is valued in hundreds - a vote cast by one Uttar Pradesh MLA, for example, will be valued at 208. The vote of a Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha) will be valued at 708. (A complete, state-wise list of the value of each MLA can be found at the end of this article.)
But, it ensures that each state gets a fair say in the election, in proportion to its population, and that the candidate who is elected President is one who has the support of the majority of electors.
