Presidential Election in India

In India, the Presidential election occurs every five years to elect the President, who is the ceremonial head of state. The election uses an indirect voting system, where representatives from the state legislative assemblies and the elected members of Parliament cast votes. Each voter’s vote is weighted based on the population of the state and the total number of parliamentary members. To win, a candidate must secure a majority of the votes in a system that promotes unity among diverse regions. The President's role includes upholding the Constitution, appointing key officials, and representing India internationally.
