2012 Indian Rajya Sabha elections
The 2012 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were held in multiple phases between February and March 2012, with the primary aim of electing 55 members to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament. These elections were consequential as they involved vacancies created by the expiration of terms of office for the existing members and included nominations from various state legislative assemblies. The elections were conducted in accordance with the system of proportional representation through a single transferable vote, ensuring a representation that mirrored the political party strength within the states. Notably, the 2012 elections were marked by significant political maneuvering and strategic alliances among parties, reflecting the dynamic nature of Indian politics.
