Election Schedule :
----------------------------------------------------------
Rajya Sabha seats to be vacated in 2026
----------------------------------------------------------
Election Procedure:
- Rajya Sabha members are elected by concerned State MLAs.
- MLAs vote in the Rajya Sabha elections in what is called proportional representation with the single transferable vote (STV) system. Each MLA’s vote is counted only once.
- In this system, MLAs don’t vote for each seat.Instead, the MLAs are given a paper with the names of all candidates. They have to give their order of preference for each candidate, marking 1,2,3… against their names.
- The ballot is open but MLAs have to show their ballots to an authorised agent from their party to prevent practices such as cross-voting. A vote cannot be counted if the ballot is not shown to the agent. Independent MLAs cannot show their ballot to anyone.
- If a qualifying number of voters choose a candidate as their first choice, he or she is elected.
- The remaining votes go to the next candidates, but with a lesser value. So, MLAs also vote for candidates from other parties.
- The candidate that gets rank 1 from an MLA secures a first preference vote. In order to win, a candidate needs a specific number of such first preference votes. This number depends on the strength of the state Assembly and the number of MPs it sends to Rajya Sabha.
----------------------------------------------------------
Election Formula
- To win, a candidate should get a required number of votes which is known as quota or preference vote.
- The formula of quota is = [Total number of votes/(Number of Rajya Sabha seats + 1)] + 1.
- Example : In current election for 4 seats of Rajyasabha from Odisha, the quota required to win each candidate = 147/(4+1) + 1 = 30.4
- If atleast 30 MLAs give first preference to a candidate, then he/ she will win.
