Elections to Rajya sabha are conducted every 2 years.....The quota for each state is fixed as per Schedule 4 of the constitution...Elections to 1/3 rd of these seats occur every 2 years (that is the meaning of elections being staggered)
Suppose the election is for 3 seats. Let there be only 2 parties in d assembly...party A with 20 seats and party B with 10 seats... Both field 3 candidates each. To win, a candidate should have
find the quotient of No.of votes divided by (no.of seats + 1 )...add one to this quotient..
In this case, a candidate requires (30/4)+1...that is 8 votes to win.....
Election process
Members dont vote for each seat. If that had been the case then only the ruling party representatives will make it through.
rather, they are given a paper with the names of all six candidates. They have to give their preferences for each candidate as 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.....
If 8 or more members choose a candidate as their first choice, he gets elected. So the opposition with 10 seats can get one member elected ( all 10 members will give their first candidate as no.1)...The ruling party on the other hand can get only 2 members elected (10 vote for first candidate and 10 for the next). Thus one candidate of party A and 2 candidates of party B are redundant...
Now coming to what Single Transferable vote means
Only option no.1 will be counted as the vote. But if the requisite number of candidates do not get elected in this process, the candidate with the minimum no.of votes (members putting him as no.1) will be eliminated. The votes of these members will now be transferred to their respective second choices (ones marked as no.2)...
We use the same system for election of the president of India
Usually what happens is that parties wont field candidates for all seats.....Depending on their proportional representation in the assembly, they decide after a meeting and field candidates. That is, party A will field 2 and party B will field 1. All of them will get elected without any problem..
