Why the need for 'One Country, One Election'?

• Simultaneous elections across the country can significantly reduce the financial costs associated with multiple electoral processes. Adopting this model will reduce expenditure on resources such as manpower, equipment and security required to hold independent elections.
• Frequent elections at different times create uncertainty and instability in administrative functioning. This disrupts supply chains, trade, investment and economic growth.
• Repeatedly promulgated model codes of conduct lead to policy inaction and slow down development programmes.
• Frequent elections lead to voter fatigue, making ensuring adequate participation a major challenge. Holding elections simultaneously will reduce election-related crimes and disputes and ease the burden on the courts.

What is the problem with 'one country, one election'?

There are also constitutional challenges in holding simultaneous elections across the country. President's rule can be abused to bring about uniformity in the tenure of state legislatures. By 2024, India's more than 96 crore voters will require more than 1 million polling booths and extensive security arrangements. Simultaneous elections may also put additional strain on administrative capacity.
