Explanation:

The President is elected not directly by the people but by members of electoral college consisting of:
1. The elected members of both the Houses of Parliament;
2. The elected members of the legislative assemblies of the states; and
3. The elected members of the legislative assemblies of the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry.
The Constitution provides that there shall be uniformity in the scale of representation of different states as well as parity between the states as a whole and the Union at the election of the President.
The value of votes of MLAs would differ from State to State as the value of each such vote is
calculated by the process explained below. However, the value of votes of all MPs is the same.
