Value of the vote of an MP = (Total number of votes assigned to the elected members of all the State Assemblies)/(Total number of elected members of both Houses of the Parliament)

Fractions exceeding one-half being counted as one.

Further, the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote, by secret ballot, ensures that the successful candidate is returned by an absolute majority of votes. A candidate, in order to be declared elected to the office of President, must secure a fixed quota of votes. The quota of votes is determined by dividing the total number of valid votes polled by the number of candidates to be elected (here only one candidate is to be elected as President) plus one and adding one to the quotient. The formula can be expressed as:

Electoral Quota= [Total Number of valid votes polled/((1+1)=2)]+ 1
