What is the One Nation, One Election Bill?
The concept of 'One Nation, One Election' includes a law to hold simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies in India. The aim behind this is to avoid repeated elections in the country and ensure efficient use of resources. This bill will allow all elections to be held simultaneously. That is, elections will be held in the country every five years at the same time. From 1952 to 1967, Lok Sabha and assembly elections were held simultaneously in India. This system collapsed in 1968-69 after the assemblies of some states were dissolved.
