The [[Rajya Sabha]] (meaning the "Council of States") is the upper house of the Parliament of India. [[Assam]] elects 7 seats since 1956 (one more than 1952-1956).<ref name=RSat-work>{{cite web |title=Composition of Rajya Sabha - Rajya Sabha At Work |url=http://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/rsat_work/chapter-2.pdf |website=rajyasabha.nic.in |publisher=Rajya Sabha Secretariat, New Delhi |accessdate=28 December 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305020442/http://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/rsat_work/chapter-2.pdf |archivedate=5 March 2016 }}</ref> Members are indirectly elected by state legislators (elected politicians) of [[Assam]]. The number of the seven seats allocated to each party is proportional to the legislators' number at the time of nomination. Each party in Assam thus meeting a minimum quota of {{frac|1|7}} of the local seats nominates a member; if a party has {{frac|2|7}} to {{frac|3|7}}ths of the local seats those legislators select two members (and so forth).

Elections within the state legislatures are held using [[proportional representation]] via [[single transferable vote]].
