  • At least two former election commissioners called for extensive electoral reforms, irrespective of the fate of the two bills in Parliament that could allow simultaneous polls from 2034

The article from MSN discusses the concerns raised by former Election Commissioners (ECs) of India regarding the "One Nation, One Election" (ONOE) bills. These bills aim to synchronize elections for the Lok Sabha, state assemblies, and local bodies across the country. The former ECs have called for more extensive discussions on the implications of these bills, highlighting potential constitutional, logistical, and political challenges. They argue that while the idea might streamline the electoral process and reduce costs, it could also undermine federalism, affect voter behavior, and necessitate significant amendments to the Constitution. They emphasize the need for a thorough debate involving all stakeholders to assess the feasibility and desirability of implementing such a system.
