please mark me as brain liest and follow me
Explanation:
The election of the Vice President is slightly different from the election of the President as the members of state legislatures are not part of the electoral college but the nominated members of both the houses are part of electoral college for the vice presidential election.
President:
In India, we have a parliamentary form of government where the president serve the nation only as a de-jure head. As a nominal head of the state Indian president enjoys the highest position of the country, status of the first citizen of India. As India is a vast country with it's diverse geographical area as well as heterogenous nature of the society, direct election of the president is not possible. So, Indian president is elected indirectly by a electoral college consisting of the elected members of the both houses of Parliament, the elected members of legislative assmeblies of the state and the elected members of Union territories of Delhi and Puducherry.
Vice President:
Indian Vice-president enjoys the second highest position in the country and his position has similarities with the position of the American Vice-president .The Vice-president also not elected directly but by the members of an electoral college. But in case of Vice-presidential election the electoral college is different. In case of presidential election only elected members of the both houses of Parliament have the right to vote but in case of Vice-presidential presidential election both elected and nominated members have the right to vote.
