DC Edit | Is ‘One Election’ reform a bridge too far for India?

Deccan Chronicle  

The leading question on the introduction of the much-vaunted electoral reform titled “One Nation, One Election” is whether the largest and most diverse electorate in the world needs it or not. The concept of conducting simultaneous elections for both Lok Sabha and Legislative Assemblies across India may save costs, improve efficiency and boost voter turnout. The biggest objection comes from the premise that a single poll schedule to the Parliament and state Assemblies might be advantageous to the present dispensation as history points to people voting uniformly in unitary polls. They are probably less bothered by the political minefield the ruling alliance may have to go through in amending Articles of the Constitution than the motivation for such a sweeping electoral reform which might not even save much money considering the initial expansion costs and logistics of EVMs and VVPAT machines for such a massive exercise.
