One Nation, One Election: A Critical Analysis

Author(s) Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Country India
Abstract The concept of "One Nation, One Election" seeks to synchronize the electoral processes for the Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies in India. Advocates of this proposal argue that unifying elections could significantly reduce the overall costs associated with campaigning and administrative efforts, making the electoral process more efficient. They believe that simultaneous elections could also alleviate the issue of policy stagnation, ensuring more stable and continuous governance by allowing elected representatives to focus on long-term policies rather than being preoccupied with frequent elections. Conversely, critics warn that this approach might pose threats to the fundamental principles of federalism by diluting the distinction between state and national issues. They highlight concerns regarding the complexities involved in managing electoral logistics and potential negative impacts on democratic representation, as regional issues might be overshadowed by national narratives. This article delves deeply into the feasibility, advantages, and obstacles associated with the implementation of synchronized elections in India, while reflecting on its broader social, political, and constitutional implications.
