Answer: The correct answer is Election Commission of India.

• The Election Commission scrutinizes the nominations and publishes a list of valid candidates.
• Members of the electoral college, which is made up of elected members of the Indian Parliament and the Legislative Assemblies of the Indian states and Union Territories with legislative assembly, cast their votes using a system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote.
• The votes are then counted, and the candidate who receives the majority of votes is declared elected as the President of India.
• The President-elect takes the oath of office and assumes the responsibilities of the President of India.
