Election in India for the post of the Vice-President is held in accordance with which of the following?

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (A) System of Alternate Voting Explanation: The election of the Vice-President of India is conducted using the System of Alternate Voting. In this system, voters rank candidates in order of preference, and counting continues until one candidate secures the required majority, as prescribed in the Constitution of India and explained in NCERT Civics.
Information Booster: According to NCERT Political Science both the President and Vice-President of India are elected by an electoral college using proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote; however, the Vice-President’s election specifically follows the method of alternate voting, where preferences play a key role.
Additional Knowledge:
· (B) System of Proportional Representation – Applied in Rajya Sabha elections, but not directly termed as the Vice-President’s voting method in this context.
· (C) First Past the Post system – Used in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assembly elections, not for constitutional posts.
· (D) Two Round System – Followed in countries like France, not in Indian Vice-Presidential elections.
