Should India opt for "One Nation, One Election"?
Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts

[sear]

I think the best solution could be to hold all State elections simultaneously, we can hold the National election in a different timeline. So the country will only be in election mode during these two times once for all states and once for national elections. This will save time and money while also reducing voter confusion and logistic issues.

[vishalrao]

Palki ji, you forgot to mention one important thing. Whenever election happens, all of government teachers get busy in those elections for whole month and students suffer always in absence of their regular classes.
So, one election would be so much better decision in all prospect including saving huge money.

The voting day should be Declared to be a holiday so people can vote.

"You campaign once in 5 years, and that's it. The rest of the time, you work... IDEALLY."

Palki has some of the best commentary words and tag lines. ^^

It works well in South Africa. Central Government and Provincial elections are held at the same time. You complete two ballot papers and officials advise you that both ballots must be completed. However municipal elections are held separately.

One Nation One election is the best option 🙏 Jai Hind 🙏

[jethiya]

It will save a lot of money and time of Government employee. They can do their original job instead of Electoral job. Also it will be good for public because less chaos and single election.

[josealexander]

All National, State elections and Council elections should be held at the same time to save time and money.

[Sanguine]

Not only time and money will be saved but it will also enhance efficiency and reduce cheap politics happening all the time, every year.

I believe there should be 2 election one for central government 2nd for all the state government and municipality elections together This way regional interests are protected and we don’t have to spend on every few months on election

[mummy]

One nation one election is good for economy..

[rajeshravindran]

Similar to US, there can be midterm election to accommodate election for any dissolved government. Since 2014 only 4 times president rule was imposed in India, one nation one election makes total sense

[shaktisingh]

I am new to this channel, what I liked the most about this channel is wide range of coverage of issues in an impartial manner and not like lapdog media. Being a responsible and educated citizen I want that only. Thank you so much FIRSTPOST.

[maheshrawat]

Yes India should adopt One Nation One Election.

[Death__]

Our ministers will have more time to actually work rather than keep preparing for the election of this state or that state. So, One Nation One Election is good.

[oggaming]

I am literally wishing this to be implemented immediately

[Nmax]

ABSOLUTELY YES
End the pointless electioneering every year and nord more focus in governance.

[dileeppanicker]

Good observations and very rational analysis. I stand for one nation one election .
