One Nation, One Election refers to a proposal for conducting simultaneous elections for all the major legislative bodies in India- specifically, the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) and all State Legislative Assemblies. This means holding elections for the central government and state governments at the same time across the country.
The concept of One Nation, One Election has been debated for several years in India. The idea is rooted in the concern that frequent elections disrupt governance, lead to a lack of focus on development work, and drain public resources. It aims to bring about efficiency in the electoral process and ensure better governance by reducing the frequency of elections.
