SIMULTANEOUS ELECTIONS IN INDIA
The present government has been rooting for One Nation One Election (ONOE) which entails that elections to the National Legislature (Lok Sabha) and State Legislatures, Panchayats and Urban Local-bodies to be held simultaneously. It means structuring the Indian election cycle in a manner that elections to Lok Sabha and State Assemblies are synchronised together under which voters in a particular constituency vote for both State Assembly and Lok Sabha the same day.
The idea of SE’s isn’t new to the country.Earlier, SE’s were held in India till 1967 which was disrupted due to premature dissolution of Assemblies.
The Constitution of India apart from stipulating that elections have to be held every five years for both parliament and state assemblies (except J&K where legislative assembly has 6 year term), the constitution is silent over whether this should happen simultaneously. However, the Supreme Court has held that wherever enacted laws are silent or make insufficient provisions for the conduct of elections, the Election Commission (EC) has residuary powers under the constitution to act in an appropriate manner. Accordingly the idea of SE remerged in first Annual Report of Election Commission of India(1983) and later was furthered by Law Commission’s Report (1999) and 79th report of Parliamentary Standing Committee (2015). In 2017, a paper by NITI Aayog on SE was released discussing the relevance of the idea.
Why Simultaneous elections is a good idea—
It would save India from permanent and continuous electoral cycles, party politics and polarising issues common during election campaigning.It will reduce the time and cost involved in conducted elections.The continuous cycle of elections puts stress on the exchequer, the contesting candidates, financers and the party especially the smaller ones as elections are becoming extremely expensive.The imposition of the “Model Code of Conduct” every time an election is scheduled delays the development projects and welfare schemes.There is no conclusive study to prove that local parties would suffer and regional issues would get lost as is feared by various regional parties.The problem of premature dissolution of state legislatures as in the misuse of Article 356 by the party in power at the centre has diminished significantly after the passage of anti-defection law and the Supreme Court judgement in Bomnai Case (1994).
