How is the Rajya Sabha member elected?

According to the way the election process is done for the Rajya Sabha, it is also called indirect election.

Members of the Rajya Sabha are selected by the legislators of each state.

But the members of the Legislative Council cannot participate in this electoral process.

To understand the selection process, you must understand the +1 formula.

To understand this process, let us take the example of Uttar Pradesh.

This time in Uttar Pradesh, Rajya Sabha members are to be elected on 11 seats.

This time the winning formula for UP will be something like this.

403/ [11+1 = 34 ie a candidate needs 34 votes to win.
