​Pie in the sky: On the idea of simultaneous elections

The Hindu  

With the Union government introducing two Bills in the Lok Sabha to implement its idea of simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies, the stage is set for Parliament to debate the feasibility, or otherwise, of the idea of what the government calls “One Nation, One Election”. The content in the Bills themselves are in line with the recommendations of a committee headed by former President of India Ram Nath Kovind that envisaged simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections as a first step, followed by municipal and panchayat polls within 100 days of the general election. Other provisions echo the Kovind committee recommendations — for example, if a State Assembly gets dissolved before five years of its term, after the “appointed date” — the date for synchronising Lok Sabha and Assembly elections — fresh “midterm” elections will be held but the new Assembly will not have a full five-year tenure. The idea of conducting multiple elections to an Assembly before the stipulated five-year period also militates against the ostensible rationale provided for the idea of introducing simultaneous elections — cost-cutting.
