Election of the President

 The President is elected, from a group of nominees, by the elected members of the Parliament of Indian ( Lok Sabha and Raiya Sabha) as well as of the state legislatures (Vidhan Sabhas), and serves for a term of five years.

If no candidate receives a majority of votes, there is a system by which losing candidates are eliminated from the contest and votes for them are transferred to other candidates, until one gains a majority.
