* elected members of the [[Rajya Sabha]] (upper house of the [[Parliament of India]]); | |||
* elected members of the [[Lok Sabha]] (lower house of the Parliament of India); | |||
* elected members of each state [[Vidhan Sabha|Legislative Assembly]]; and | |||
* elected members of each union territory possessing an assembly (i.e. [[Delhi]] and [[Puducherry]]). | |||

*Presidential elections in India involve [[proportional representation]] from respective states. The number of votes assigned to a particular voter from a state assembly is decided as follows. | |||
{| align="center" | |||
|- | |||
|<math> \textrm{Value\;of\;an\;MLA\;vote} = \cfrac {\mbox{Total population of the state}} {\mbox{Total number of non-inflected members} \times {1000}} </math><br /><br /> | |||
|} | |||
