The Big Picture - One Nation One Election

[@rishabhbansal4986]

One Nation - One Election Key Highlights :- - This year marks the great year for India as we are celebrating 70th anniversary of Independence as well as 150th anniversary of Gandhi Jayanti. - As said by one of the member the elections in India should become synchronous, and this can be achieved by doing certain amendment in the constitution such as Article 83 (Fix tenure for Lok Sabha that is 5 years), Article 85, Article 172 (Fix tenure for legislative assembly that is 5 years and Article 174. - The main problem for implementation of such idea is the Parliamentary form of government. The government can fall before its tenure as recently seen in Goa. - For such problems Presidential form of government like in U.S.A can be the solution. To implement in India we need to amend the Article 356 which authorize the presidential rule. - Another solution can to, if in case something happens to leader then let the people of house elect the new leader. - At all the three levels that is Central, State and Local the elections need to be synchronised. - Over the past years money power in the elections also gone up tremendously. - If the Representation of People Act,1951 is amended then it would :- • Save Public Money. • Reduce the burden on administrator. • Ensure the timely implementation of government policies. • Ensure administration machinery is engaged in developmental activity. - Basic structure of construction might get altered, so we must ensure the political parties consensus. - Logistics challenges will also be faced by EIC. WAY FORWARD :- - Elections in India are celebrated as Festival and if they happen once in every 5 years all together throughout country then it would be regarded as 'Maha- Festival' for the citizens. - But this step would also have major drawback that is there are some political parties which might perform good at central level but the same political party may fail at regional level. For example which was seen in State assembly polls in state of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. - The government makes many amendment in the constitution but one big amendment in constitution would benefit all tge citizens of country.

Constitutional impediment in One nation one election : - Terms of LS & LA should be synchronized -constitutional amendment - Article 83 ( 5yrs term for LS), 85, 174, 172 (5 Yrs term for LA), 356 (President rule in failure of constitutional machinery) - Legislative term need to be extended & curtailed in some. - Parliamentary form of govt - govt is accountable to lower house - it can fall before completion its term radical solution - presidential election - separation of legislative & executive, election day fixed. - Article 356 - Government goes but assembly remains: Inviting the 2nd person to choose or house elects its own leaders. - RPA 1951 & Parliamentary procedures. Benefits of ONOE: - Save public money Party expenses, poll expenses: Poll expenses has increased from 11 Cr in 1951 to 16000 Cr in 2019. - Ensure timely implementation of govt policies - Model code of conduct prevent developmental activities & taking harsh short term measures for long term ambition. - Reduce burden of administration & security forces : 2.6 Lakh CISF & 10 lakh policemen, 1 Cr people engaged in this - should be utilized in dual elections. - administrative machinery engaged in development activities Implementation Challenges: - Logistical problem - requirement of EVM & VVPAT will double, additional piling of staff increase, requirement of transport, storing EVM's - storing godown - Political consensus - 2/3 avoid majority & half the states KCR had election before in Telangana so as not to clash with LS election .

[@amitmatre4722]

Many viewers asking for limitations of the said issue... I m simply pasting from an article for the convenience of exam aspirants. 1-National and state issues are different, and holding simultaneous elections is likely to affect the judgment of voters. 2-Since elections will be held once in five years, it will reduce the government's accountability to the people. Repeated elections keep legislators on their toes and increases accountability. 3-When an election in a State is postponed until the synchronised phase, President’s rule will have to be imposed in the interim period in that state. This will be a blow to democracy and federalism.

[@akshaypatil4849]

UPSC ASPIRANT. well done rishab bansal

[@monootan]

One point that they missed discussing is the effect it will have on the federal structure of our political system. If we start fighting elections on one nation one election format, there is no scope for separation of national & local issues. Local election will be fought on national issues or vice versa. This will ultimately make the bicameral system ineffective because Rajya Sabha will then represent the national mood during the grand election and thus will be more or less similar in composition to Lok Sabha. In a country like ours where even today, after 70 years of independence, votes are 'bought' by money or muscle power - one nation one election will lead to monopolizing of election by big national parties like Congress & BJP which have the infrastructure to fight such grand elections. Local parties and thereby local issues will be suppressed. We will move towards more centralisation when the need of the hour is more decentralisation. So I personally do not think it is a good idea. The money that the govt spends on election is very meagre in comparison to our national spending. It is the money spent by political parties that have increased disproportionately over the years. Immediate reform that should be brought in is to limit the poll expenditure by each political parties. Single election will only help large political parties to spend lesser on elections(in righteous way or not, this was the money that went in to the pockets of common citizens in one way or the other). Enabling savings of political parties at the cost of federalism is not something that our country can afford to do now.

[@ishitapardeshi2053]

@vivek correctly said, also in India the literacy rate is not so good to immediately understand the concept of one nation one election. An ordinary person who doesn't know much would vote on the basis of the popularity of a particular party or party person rather than on the basis of understanding. This can also lead to centralisation.

If it is implemented it might become one of the flagship constitutional amendments in the history of the Indian Constitution. The basic problem in this amendment is awareness of the people about CROSS VOTING. According to the survey, more than 60℅ of the people casting their vote in favour of one political party (in places where assembly and lok sabha election's held simultaneously). The biggest political party and national parties in india will have more advantages than regional parties.

And I think we Indians are actually very mature when it comes to Lok Sabha and assembly election. One thing we can do that Just like in USA first, we can have Lok Sabha election. Once the election is completed we can move towards the assembly election. Let’s say in May 2024 the Lok Sabha election get completed and in July or August. When the results are out we can have assembly election for all the states and UT. So this kind of method can give enough space to all the national and regional political parties.

After amendment, when government dissolved before completing it's full tenure {5yr} by no confidence motion or by other mean ,at that time election were held for particular assembly only for remaining time period .e.g. when MP of rajya sabha died or resign in mid of his tenure and after that election were held to complete his remaining tenure same as we need these process for lok sabha or for state assemblys.

If we agree with your point of view then it will lodge extra burden on economy. Suppose a govt falls before 1 year and election held govt form. After an year once again re-election.

according to my opinion, all state elections should happen at one time and central election at other time providing a gap of two and half years between them. this clearly would be acceptable to all regional and opposition party who are currently fearing that one nation one election will favor the national party. also the federal structure of constitution will be safe and complexity will reduce.

That's why even if they don't work they should be made to meet people regularly so that there is some connection between voters and their representatives...

[@guptes007]

Disappointing. None of the panelists discussed the demerits of a simultaneous election. 1. In Parliamentary form of election, voter loses the control over his MP/MLA once he/she is elected. The intermediary elections give the voters a chance to check on the politicians. 2. Most of the time, voters vote for the same party in center & state. A common man can barely distinguish between national & regional issues, priorities & vote accordingly. 3.This system is more beneficial to parties rather than people or the country as a whole. 4. This would further the nuisance of fighting election on persona rather than issues. 5. If we are spending 3k crore on a statue, expenditure is certainly not high in our priorities.

[@hemantsawle8957]

one possible solution for holding the simultaneous election is fix the tenure of the state legislative assemblies and lok sabha . And if there is dissolution of state legislative assembly or lok sabha happens then impose the president's rule( if remaining tenure is short) and if the tenure is more than 6 month then the new election should be held for respective state or center and elect leader for remaining term and then after 5 years new fresh election and the process keeps moving.

[@atulsinghvi8527]

I have complete solution on "one nation one election". For conduct lok sabha , all state vidhyan sabha and all local bodies election on one day ,we have to decide the one standard date .For our understanding we can take 10th May 2024 where all election should happen. And simultaneously next standard election date automatically fixed which is 10th May 2029. Now the problem arises where any constitution assembly dissolve. If any assembly dissolve a) within 3 years of election then re-election should happen and elected government will be hold office upto standard date (10th May 2029) or b) after 3 years of election then president rule will apply upto standard date (10th May 2029) .

[@ayushgupta4376]

Modi ji will ultimately go to make India a nation with semi-presdential govt like Russia or France. A full presidential govt like USA or Brazil won't be possible because of the SC judgement on basic structure of constitution which establishes a parliamentary form of govt as a basis.

I think elections can be fixed after every two years not before that. Suppose if 4 state govts period is expiring in 2020 and if we exceed its tenure for 2021 and if another state whose tenure is expiring in 2022 and we curtail it's tenure one year to make 2 year simultaneous election. This idea will work in every situation. No logistical money expenditure. No need of presidential form of govt. Once this type of formula is applied then if any govt. falls before it's tenure then we merge it's re election in upcoming simultaneous time of election. My personal thinking is that in a country like India with so vibrant culture and unique type of federal system, one nation one election is eutopian thought on ground it is not possible..

There are also several other concerns, people who oppose ONOE argue: Simultaneous elections are against the federal structure of the Constitution. It forces the voter to think of national and state issues at the same plane, and will take away the gains made by regional parties over the years and favour national parties, they say. Amending Articles 174 and 356 - which deals with ‘Provisions in case of failure of constitutional machinery in State’, or President’s rule - will alter the basic structure of the Constitution and will impinge on federalism. The international examples given by those pro-ONOE - like Sweden, Belgium and South Africa - cannot be compared to a country like India, whose population and area is many times that of the smaller countries. Dilution of Tenth Schedule - the anti-defection law - will lead to horse trading. ONOE is not feasible: if a central government that is made up of a coalition faces a situation where an ally pulls out, and the government falls, elections will have to be conducted in all state governments, too, within six months, even if there is no issue in those states. And vice-versa. Argument about MCC paralysing policy making is overstated and untrue - it only stops ruling parties from using the government machinery for electoral gains. You can read the Law Commission of India’s report on the issue here.
