The Rajya Sabha is to consist of not more than 250 members – 238 members representing the States and Union Territories and 12 members nominated by the President. The distribution is on the basis of population.

The candidates are elected by the Legislative Assembly of States and Union territories by means of Single transferable vote through Proportional representation. In other words, we elect the MLAs and the MLAs elect the Rajya Sabha members (who are nominated by their political party). Here, it’s worth noting only elected members participate in electing RS members. In other words, nominated members of State Legislative Assembly has no role in electing RS members.

The elections are organised by the Election Commission of India (ECI)

The political party that has a majority in the state assembly normally gets to send the maximum number of MPs to the Rajya Sabha. The value of the vote of one MLA is calculated as follows.

However twelve members are nominated by the President of India having special knowledge in various areas like Arts, Science etc. However they are not entitled to vote in Presidential elections as per Article 55 of Indian Constitution.
