Who votes in the presidential election?
In the election of the President, all the MPs of Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and MLAs of all the states cast their votes. The importance of each of these votes is different. Even the value of vote of an MLA of different state is different. The value of a vote of an MP is 708. But this time due to absence of assembly in Jammu and Kashmir, the value of votes of MPs has come down to 700.
