A number of measures has been suggested to improvise and strengthen the existing electoral practices in India.
A few of the proposals related to electoral reforms in India include:
1)MLA or MP only for 2 terms, and Retirement Age limit for Executive posts
No one can be elected as an MLA or MP for more than 2 terms (10 years). Also No one should hold executive posts (Ministerial posts) if the age is above retirement age of 60.
2)Simultaneous Elections
There has been discussions and consultations about conducting national and state legislature elections simultaneously
3)Transparency in funding of political parties
The necessity for transparency in financial accounts of political parties and political donations have been in discussion.
Political parties must be pulled under the ambit of RTI act.
4)Decriminalization of politics
There must be some rules to stop contesting in an election for the candidates having a criminal background.
5)Online Voting
Online voting must be encouraged to increase the percentage of voting during election.
6)Paid News and Prediction Polls
7)Candidates to contest from a single seat
Currently, candidates are allowed to contest elections simultaneously from two seats. If a candidate wins from both the seats, a by-election happens. This requires additional expenditure, resources and participation of many. A by-election that happens this way is also an indication of a lack of respect towards the citizens of that constituency. There has thus been suggestions of allowing candidates to contest only from a single seat
benefits
It is expected that electoral reforms will contribute to better participation of the citizens in electoral practices, reduce corruption and strengthen democracy in India.
hope this helps!!! thank you
