1964 Rajya Sabha elections

The 1964 Rajya Sabha elections were conducted in India to fill vacancies in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, resulting from the expiration of terms of several incumbent members. These elections were significant as they occurred in a period marked by political transitions and the consolidation of the newly established states following the reorganization of Indian states. The elections were held in various states to elect 18 members, with the electoral process governed by the provisions of the Constitution of India. Despite regional political dynamics, the Congress Party maintained its dominant position, reflecting the party's strong influence in Indian politics during this era. These elections contributed to shaping the legislative landscape in post-independence India.
