How the Vice President is elected in India?
There is no direct election for the Vice-President of India however, they are indirectly selected by an Electoral College which includes members of both the houses of the Parliament. The Vice President election process is quite similar to that of the President of India but the electoral college that elects the President is different from the electoral college which is responsible for the election of Vice-President of India.
Check out the difference between the electoral college that elects President and the one electing Vice-President of India:
1. In the election of the Vice President, both elected and nominated members of both the Houses of Parliament participate whereas in the presidential elections, nominated members do not participate in the electoral college.
2. For Vice President’s elections, states have no role to play unlike in President’s elections whereas the state legislative assemblies’ elected members are a part of the electoral college in this process.
Important Note: The principle of election used in Vice President’s elections is ‘Proportional Representation’ by means of a single transferable vote.

An individual who is an Indian citizen can qualify for the position of the Vice President if they are 35 years old or more. Another qualification for an individual to run for the vice-presidential elections is to be qualified to be elected as the member of the Rajya Sabha.
