| Loksabha Speaker
| The Speaker will calculate the YES-fraction and NO-fraction every Loksabha constituency as follows : T = Total No. of voters in that constituency. Y = No. of voters who voted YES, so citizens' YES-fraction = Y/T N = Number of voters who voted NO, so citizens' NO-fraction = N/T M = No. of voters who did not vote on the Bill = T - Y - N Now as per the Constitution, it is necessary that MP’s vote represents citizens' YES/NO. In other words, if Y/T citizens have registered YES and N/T citizens have registered NO, then as per the Constitution, it is necessary, that MP’s vote's YES-fraction is above Y/T as well as NO-fraction is above N/T. Then for THAT constituency, if MLA votes YES, then YES-fraction will be (Y+M)/T and NO-fraction will be N/T if MLA votes NO, then YES-fraction will be Y/T and NO-fraction will be (N+M)/T. if MLA abstains, then YES-fraction will be Y/T and NO-fraction will be N/T.

| Loksabha Speaker
| The Speaker will add YES-fractions and NO-fractions of all the Loksabha constituency to obtain the total YES fraction of the State.
3
| Loksabha Speaker
| The Speaker will declare bill as "failed if NO-fraction exceeds YES-fraction. if YES-fraction is larger than NO-fraction then the Speaker will send the bill to the Rajyasabha Speaker

| Rajyasabha Speaker
| Within 30 days after a bill has been presented, a member of Rajyasabha can register his YES/NO on the bill before the Speaker. If a member does NOT register his YES/NO, the Speaker will take it as a NO.
5
| Rajyasabha Speaker
| Speaker will use following formula to calculate the YES fraction and NO fraction Y = Number of voters in India who voted YES N = Number of voters in India who voted NO T = Total number of citizen-voters in India U = Number of citizens who didn’t vote = T - Y - N MY = Number of Rajyasabha members who voted YES MN = Number of Rajyasabha members who voted NO (or did not register their vote) MT = Total number of Members In that case, YES fraction = Y/T + MY/MT*U/T NO fraction = N/T + MN/MT*U/T

| Rajyasabha Speaker
| If the YES fraction exceeds NO fraction, Speaker will declare the bill as passed, else he will declare the bill as failed.
