The 2026 Rajya Sabha elections will be held as part of a routine six-year cycle of the upper house of the Parliament of India from 16 March to November 2026 to elect 72 of its 245 members, of which the states through their legislators elect 233, and the remaining 12 are appointed by the President.[1][2]
Electoral system[edit | edit source]
MPs are elected through indirect election by the members of the State legislative assemblies using the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. Each voter (MLA) ranks candidates in the order of preference (marking 1, 2, 3 and so on) under an open ballot system. Candidates have to reach a specific quota of votes in order to win a seat.[3]
For a single-seat election, each ballot is valued at one. When multiple seats are filled, the ballot value is set to one hundred.[4]
A candidate is elected unopposed when the number of candidates matches the number of available seats after nominations and withdrawals period.[5]
