The Electoral College for election of the Vice-President of India consists of which of the following members ?

From Lok Sabha only
From Rajya Sabha only
From Both the Houses of Parliament
None of these

The correct answer is (c). The Electoral College for election of the Vice-President of India consists of the members of both the Houses of Parliament, i.e., the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The Vice-President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the members of both Houses of Parliament and the legislative assemblies of the states. The voting is done by secret ballot. The candidate who secures a majority of the votes polled is elected. If no candidate secures a majority of the votes in the first round of voting, a second round of voting is held between the two candidates who have secured the highest number of votes in the first round. The candidate who secures a majority of the votes in the second round is elected.

Option (a) is incorrect because the Vice-President is not elected by the members of the Lok Sabha only. Option (b) is incorrect because the Vice-President is not elected by the members of the Rajya Sabha only. Option (d) is incorrect because the Vice-President is elected by the members of both the Houses of Parliament and the legislative assemblies of the states.
