FPTP governs direct elections (Lok Sabha, State Assemblies), but a Proportional Representation variant (Single Transferable Vote) is used for the President, Vice-President, Rajya Sabha, and State Legislative Councils. Correction: replace "all" with "most" — "FPTP system is used for most of the elections in India."
