Parliamentary elections in India – and also elections to its state assemblies – are conducted under the First Past the Post (FPTP) system whereby a single representative for each of the 543 constituencies is elected as a Member of the Lok Sabha, on the basis of obtaining the largest number of all the candidates contesting that constituency.

“This is a remarkable book, reflecting the author’s wide-ranging expertise of political economy in general and India’s complex election process in particular. … This book … deserves to be welcomed as a very detailed and systematic study encompassing all the national elections since Independence … . I think the book stands out as a trend-setter in the field of applied political economy.” (Dilip M. Nachane, Journal of Quantitative Economics, May, 2017)
