How is the President of India elected?

Answer:

  • The President is not elected directly by the people.
  • All the Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of State Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) elect the President.
  • A candidate contesting for the President’s post has to get a majority of votes to win the elections.
    This ensures that the President can be seen to represent the entire nation.
