In Indian presidential elections, the value of a vote for an MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) is calculated by multiplying the total number of elected members in the legislative assemblies by 1000 to standardize the voting power. This ensures that the total value of votes from all states is proportional to their population and representation in the electoral college. By using 1000 as a multiplier, the calculation allows for a uniform system across different states, balancing the influence of smaller and larger states in the presidential election process.
