One Nation, One Election: A Closer Look at the Proposed Reforms

The One Nation, One Election Bill proposes to synchronize elections for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies across India. This means that instead of multiple elections throughout the year, all elections would be held simultaneously, reducing costs and administrative burdens. While supporters argue that this would streamline governance and promote national unity, critics raise concerns about potential disruptions to state autonomy and the possibility of a dominant party gaining undue advantage. The bill aims to amend the Constitution and various other laws to facilitate this change.
