The idea of One Nation One Election is considerably a topical context across the country which has invited both arguments in favour and against such a practice. One Nation One Election refers to the restructuring of the cycle of elections in India in a manner that the Lok Sabha elections and the State assembly elections are synchronised together. General elections for the Lok Sabha and State assemblies are usually held at the gap of 5 years in India along with separate elections for different State assemblies. Such a continuous cycle of elections poses a huge burden on the country’s exchequer.

The necessity to revive the practice of One Nation One Election was felt by the Prime Minister of India who intended to seek political consensus on the same issue. However, to put this idea into practice, there may be certain constitutional impediments.

Watch this lecture to understand the idea of One Nation One Election, the constitutional changes required to implement the idea of One Nation One Election, its advantages, challenges and much more.

One Nation One Election refers to the restructuring of the cycle of elections in India in a manner that the Lok Sabha elections and the State assembly elections are synchronised together.

One Nation One Election is not a brand-new concept; in fact, it has been in use since 1952, 1957, 1962, and 1967.

As a result of numerous irregularities that disrupted the smooth operation of the Parliament and the assemblies during the years 1968–1969, the practice of holding simultaneous elections was discontinued.
