Abstract
India faces a complex electoral landscape with frequent state and national elections. Recently, both the President and Prime Minister endorsed the concept of One Nation, One Election (ONOE) to synchronize electoral cycles, which was last practiced until 1967. However, implementing simultaneous elections today presents significant challenges. This study employs a cross-sectional design to examine the perspectives of Mangaluru city residents on the One Nation One Election (ONOE) policy. Through stratified random sampling, 105 respondents were selected to explore their attitudes, focusing on the policy's implications and feasibility from the citizens' viewpoint. There has been much discussion on the attempt to synchronize India's election procedures, especially concerning how it may affect the country's federal system. This study explores the difficulties, worries, and possible repercussions of the plan, offering insights into the intricate connection between federalism and electoral synchronization.
