The 2024 Rajya Sabha elections were held as part of a routine six-year cycle of the upper house of the Parliament of India from January to December 2024, to elect 65 of its 245 members and 19 bye elections, of which the states through their legislators elect 233, and the remaining 12 are appointed by the President.[1][2][3][4][5]

National Democratic Alliance secured majority in the Rajya Sabha for the first time since it assumed office in 2014, after winning 11 of the 12 bypolls held in August 2024.[6][7]

Electoral system

MPs are elected through indirect election by the members of the State legislative assemblies using the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. Each voter (MLA) ranks candidates in the order of preference (marking 1, 2, 3 and so on) under an open ballot system. Candidate have to reach a specific quota of votes in order to win a seat.[8]

<math> \text{Quota} = \left( \frac{\text{Total valid votes}}{\text{Vacancies} + 1} \right) + 1 </math>

For a single-seat election, each ballot is valued at one. When multiple seats are filled, the ballot value is set to one hundred.[9]

A candidate is elected unopposed when the number of candidates matches the number of available seats after nominations and withdrawals period.[10]
