Abstract

India, the world’s biggest democracy, conducts elections at multiple levels elections. The concept of “One Nation, One Election” proposes synchronizing these elections so that all polls General Elections are held simultaneously across the country. This idea aims to streamline the electoral process, reduce election-related expenditure, and ensure administrative efficiency. The discussion around One Nation, One Election is not new. Since then, elections have been held at different times, leading to frequent imposition of the Model Code of Conduct, policy paralysis, and increased financial and logistical burdens.
