Political consensus key to simultaneous polls

Hindustan Times  

The recent report of the Ram Nath Kovind panel on simultaneous elections is praiseworthy on several counts. Third, by separating Parliament and state assembly elections from local body elections from a literal definition of only one nationwide election at the same time for Parliament, the state assemblies as well as the local bodies across all states, the committee has deftly simplified the issue and kept it from becoming far more unwieldy. However, there could be an argument that if the state elections can also be shifted to be held along with the local bodies’ elections, many of the concerns of the political parties who have objected to this move on grounds of state-specific issues getting subsumed under national issues, could actually be allayed. Since the committee has recommended fresh elections for the unexpired period in case of a hung Parliament or a no-confidence motion, a question that arises is what happens if different state governments collapse mid-way at different points of time while there is no such situation at the parliamentary level. There is also the question as to whether bypolls arising out of the death or resignation of a legislator shall be staggered to be held along with simultaneous elections to Parliament/assembly or would be held immediately if the duration of vacancy arising out of the gap between the death or resignation and the next simultaneous election is going to be long.
