These formulas are used in Rajya Sabha elections
Rajya Sabha MP is elected according to a formula. In this, the number of votes required by an MP is decided in advance.
Actually, in this, the total number of MLAs in an assembly is multiplied by 100 and it is divided by adding +1 to the total Rajya Sabha seats of the state.
After adding one to the resulting number, that is the number of votes to win a Rajya Sabha seat in a state.
This is the formula: Total number of MLAs in the Assembly x 100/(Rajya Sabha seats+1)= +1
