Who can vote in elections to both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha?
Elected members of the Lower House of the state Legislature have the right to vote in the elections to both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
Explanation:
The Indian Parliament consists of two houses- the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha is the Lower House, and the Rajya Sabha is the Upper House. The members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people of India through a process of universal adult suffrage. On the other hand, the members of the Rajya Sabha are elected by the members of the State Legislatures.
The Constitution of India provides that the members of the State Legislatures are eligible to vote in the elections to the Rajya Sabha. However, only the elected members of the Lower House of the state Legislature have the right to vote in the elections to both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
Thus, elected members of the Lower House of the state Legislature have the dual responsibility of representing their constituencies in the state Legislature as well as participating in the election of members to the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
In conclusion, the elected members of the Lower House of the state Legislature have the right to vote in the elections to both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
