Question

Every elected member of the Parliament stands on equal footing in the election of the President or the Vice-President of India.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The President and the Vice-President are not elected directly by the people, but by the members of the electoral college. The manner of election is the same in both cases. It is held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting is by secret ballot. Thus, it is true that every elected member of the Parliament stands on equal footing in the election of the President or the Vice-President.
