Explanation:

As per article 66, the candidate contesting for election of Vice-President of India should be citizen of India, completed age of 35 years and must be qualified to become a member of Rajya Sabha. He must not hold an office for profit. Her main function is in the form of ex-officio Chairman of Rajya Sabha. She works as acting president when president is not available. Like Presidential election, Vice Presidential election is also indirect and is held via system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.

The electoral college of Vice President includes all members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Unlike in Presidential election, MLAs or MLCs from state assemblies have no role to play in Vice Presidential election.
