New Delhi- The Election Commission of India has completed the crucial task of finalizing the Electoral College list for the upcoming Vice-Presidential election scheduled for 2025. This move comes in line with the Commission’s constitutional duty as laid out in Article 324 of the Indian Constitution.
As per Article 66(1), the Vice-President of India is elected through a special Electoral College, which includes both elected and nominated members of the Rajya Sabha and all elected members of the Lok Sabha. It is the responsibility of the Election Commission to ensure the Electoral College list is up to date and accurately maintained, as mandated by Rule 40 of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Rules, 1974.
The Commission has now finalized this list, which includes eligible members arranged in a continuous serial order. The names have been organized alphabetically based on their respective State or Union Territory and the House to which they belong.
To maintain transparency and accessibility, the Election Commission has announced that copies of the final list will be available for purchase at a designated counter at its New Delhi headquarters. This availability will coincide with the official notification for the Vice-Presidential election, which is expected to be issued in the coming days.
