Exploring the Feasibility of One Nation One Election Reform in India

Abstract

One Nation, One Election is a reform that provides for Loksabha and state parliamentary elections to be held at the same time every five years in India. Advocates argue that time, money and resources can be saved by avoiding the regular administrative disruptions resulting from elections that affect general elections. It is the need for electoral reform in India and the benefits of holding all elections simultaneously, including Loksabha elections and state elections. The potential benefits of "one country, one election" are described; these include improved administrative efficiency, significant cost savings, improved political environment and promotion of national integration. This article presents international examples of synchronized electoral systems, illustrating various international approaches to synchronized elections and their consequences. The issues and concerns in implementing this change are important and should be discussed. It also discusses the legislative process, government structure, and state democracy, as well as related issues such as competition and logistical challenges. This paper discusses these changes, the need for stakeholder engagement in concurrent elections, and highlights the importance of continuing stakeholder engagement in the implementation of this electoral reform. Ultimately, the viability of India's "one country, one vote" policy depends on how to tread the difficult path of democratic governance and preserve the integrity of standard electoral tiers through joint and unified voting. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of One Country One Election's ideas, laws and political implications is necessary before determining its feasibility and implications for India's independence. This comprehensive document provides an in-depth analysis of the potential challenges, benefits and implications of implementing the One Nation One Election reform in India and details the background information. In contrast, examples are universal and can cause difficulties and problems.
