The Rajya Sabha (meaning the "Council of States") is the upper house of the Parliament of India. Assam elects 7 seats since 1956 (one more than 1952-1956).[1] Members are indirectly elected by state legislators (elected politicians) of Assam. The number of the seven seats allocated to each party is proportional to the legislators' number at the time of nomination. Each party in Assam thus meeting a minimum quota of 1⁄7 of the local seats nominates a member; if a party has 2⁄7 to 3⁄7ths of the local seats those legislators select two members (and so forth).

Elections within the state legislatures are held using proportional representation via single transferable vote.
