Authors

Abstract
The proposal of "One Nation, One
Election" aims to conduct simultaneous elections for both the Lok Sabha
(national parliament) and all state legislative assemblies. This paper
critically examines the advantages, challenges, and impacts of implementing
this proposal within the context of India's diverse political, constitutional,
and administrative landscape. By analyzing historical perspectives, the
viewpoints of political analysts, constitutional experts, and recent studies,
this paper evaluates whether synchronized elections would enhance India’s
democratic process or exacerbate its existing challenges. The analysis finds
that while the proposal promises cost efficiency, political stability, and reduced
electoral fatigue, its implementation faces significant constitutional,
logistical, and political hurdles. A nuanced approach, including constitutional
reforms and pilot projects, is recommended for evaluating its feasibility.
