The President is indirectly elected by the electoral college. Every elected member of the legislative assembly of a state shall have as many votes as there are multiples of thousand in the quotient obtained by dividing the population of the state by the total number of the elected members of the assembly. The weightage of member's vote is directly proportional to the State to which he belongs and population represented.
