The [[President of India]] is [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by an [[Electoral College (India)|electoral college]] consisting of the elected members of both houses of [[Parliament of India|parliament]], the elected members of the [[Vidhan Sabha|Legislative assemblies]] of the 28 states and the elected members of the legislative assemblies of the Union Territories of [[Delhi]],  [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] and [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. As of 2021, the electoral college comprises 776 [[Member of Parliament (India)|MP]]s and 4,120 [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]]s.

As of 2022, the electoral college comprises 776 [[Member of Parliament (India)|MP]]s and 4,123 [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]]s.
 
The system assigns varying numbers of votes to these electoral college members, such that the total weight of MPs and those of MLAs is roughly equal and that the voting power of states and territories are proportional to their population. Overall the members of the electoral college were eligible to cast 1,098,903 votes, yielding a threshold for a majority of 549,452 votes.

The nomination of a candidate for election to the office of the President must be subscribed by at least 50 electors as proposers and 50 electors as seconders. The election is held by means of a [[secret ballot]] under the [[Instant-runoff voting]] system.<ref>The Constitution of 1950 use the term [[Single transferable vote]], which is now used for a system with multiple-member constituencies. When there is only one of the latter, the system is now called [[Instant-runoff voting]]</ref> The manner of election of President is provided by Article 55 of the [[Constitution of India|Constitution]].

Article 58 of the [[Constitution of India|Indian Constitution]] provides that the [[President of India|President]] and [[Vice President of India|Vice President]] of India must be [[Natural-born-citizen clause|natural-born citizens]] of India, and at least 35 years old. Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the political parties, in which case each party devises a method (such as a [[primary election]]) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. Traditionally, the primary elections are [[indirect election]]s where voters cast ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular candidate. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party's behalf. The general election in July is also an indirect election, where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the [[Electoral College]]; these electors in turn directly elect the president and vice president.
