Which among the following statement is NOT correct regarding the election of the Vice-President of India?
Answer: C
The statement that is not correct is The electoral college includes the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies.
Under Article 66, the Vice-President is elected by an electoral college of the members of both Houses of Parliament only, elected and nominated members alike. State legislators have no part in it.
This is the key difference from the President's election, where the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies do vote but nominated members of Parliament do not. The other statements are correct, including that disputes over the Vice-President's election are decided by the Supreme Court under Article 71.
