Who among the following does not vote in the election of the Presiden...
The correct answer is option 'D': both C and D.
In the election of the President of India, members of the State Legislative Council and nominated members of both Houses of Parliament do not have the right to vote. Let's understand this in detail:
1. Elected members of both Houses of Parliament:
- The President of India is elected by an Electoral College, which consists of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament, i.e., the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States).
- The elected members of both Houses of Parliament have the right to vote in the election of the President.
2. Elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States:
- In addition to the elected members of both Houses of Parliament, the Electoral College also includes the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States.
- Each State has a certain number of votes in the Presidential election, which is determined by the population of the State.
- The elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States have the right to vote in the election of the President.
3. Members of the State Legislative Council:
- The State Legislative Council is the upper house of the State Legislature.
- Unlike the Legislative Assembly, which consists of elected members, the Legislative Council consists of both elected and nominated members.
- However, members of the State Legislative Council do not have the right to vote in the election of the President.
4. Nominated members of both Houses of Parliament:
- The President of India can nominate 12 members to the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and 2 members to the Lok Sabha (House of the People).
- These nominated members, also known as "independent" or "nominated" members, do not have the right to vote in the election of the President.
To summarize, in the election of the President of India, both members of the State Legislative Council and nominated members of both Houses of Parliament do not have the right to vote. Only the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States have the privilege to vote for the President.
