State briefly the procedure of election of the Presi. of India. Can it be truly called a Prop. Repr.

The President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of elected members of the Parliament of India and the Legislative Assemblies of the states of India. The process of electing the President is laid down in the Constitution of India and is conducted by the Election Commission of India.

The electoral college consists of elected members of both the Houses of Parliament (Members of Parliament or MPs) and the Legislative Assemblies of the states and union territories of India. The number of MPs and MLAs a state or union territory has is proportional to its population, with each MP or MLA having a certain number of votes in the electoral college.

To be elected President, a candidate must secure a majority of the votes in the electoral college. If no candidate secures a majority in the first round of voting, a second round is held between the two candidates who received the highest number of votes in the first round.

Given that the President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of elected members of the Parliament of India and the Legislative Assemblies of the states of India, it cannot be truly called a Proportional Representation System. Proportional representation systems are designed to ensure that the number of seats a political party or group wins in an election is proportional to the number of votes it receives. In the case of the election of the President of India, the number of votes a candidate receives is not directly proportional to the number of votes they receive in the general election or in the state or union territory legislative assembly elections. Instead, it is determined by the number of members in the electoral college, which is based on the population of each state or union territory
