Voting is underway for the Rajya Sabha polls to elect 15 members from Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has fielded eight candidates as opposed to the Samajwadi Party's three candidates.
The Rajya Sabha elections function under the principle of proportional representation, wherein excess votes gained by winning candidates are redistributed among the remaining contenders according to their second preferences. Each MLA is designated specific candidates to cast votes for, aligning with the party's predetermined preference order.
