Explanation:
The Representation of the People Act, 1951 was amended to allow open ballot in Rajya Sabha polls.
In August, 2006, a five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court had upheld an amendment introducing open ballot, instead of secret ballot, for elections to the Rajya Sabha. Under Rule 39 AA of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, at the time of the poll at elections to the Rajya Sabha, every elector (MLA) belonging to a political party has to show his marked ballot paper to the authorised representative of his party before inserting it into the ballot box and any refusal on his part to show his marked ballot paper to his party representative would render his ballot paper liable to rejection.
