Procedure of Rajya Sabha Elections

I will explain this giving example of any perticular state i.e. Maharashtra.

Maharashtra has 19 members in Rajya Sabha, out of which 6,6 and 7 members retire every 2 years, after completion of their 6 year term.

Suppose in particular year 6 members are retiring. Few months before their term end elections will be announced by Election Commission. If there are only 6 valid applications from the candidates , then after election date, all 6 will be announced to be elected. In case more than 6 candidates in the fray, then election becomes necessary. In the election all 288 MLAs of Assembly (Nominated members cannot vote) are eligible to vote. All MLAs rank their choice of candidates by giving number 1, 2, 3 etc.  . Voting quota is decided depending on no. of voters with the formula roundup(Voters/(N+1)),0). Here, if all 288 voters vote then winning quota is 288/7 = 41.14 ~ 42. 

. Its members are elected by the Legislative Assembly of States and Union territories by means of Single transferable vote through Proportional representation. It also has 12 members who are nominated by the President of India.


hope it will help you
