The Vice-President of India is elected by:
-
A.
Members of Lok Sabha only
-
B.
Members of Rajya Sabha only
-
C.
Members of both Houses of Parliament
-
D.
Members of State Legislatures
Correct Answer:
C. Members of both Houses of Parliament
Explanation:
According to Article 66 of the Constitution of India, the Vice-President is elected indirectly by an electoral college. This college consists of all members from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, including both elected and nominated members. Unlike the Presidential election, members of State Legislative Assemblies do not participate in the election of the Vice-President. The process uses a system of proportional representation through a single transferable vote, conducted via a secret ballot. Therefore, the correct option is C, as the Vice-President is elected by members of both Houses of Parliament.
