A committee, headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has wrapped up its report on the ‘One Nation One Election’ initiative. This move aims to synchronize the parliamentary, assembly, and local body elections across Bharat. It’s a big step towards streamlining the electoral process.
However, implementing this idea requires several changes. Firstly, the electoral rolls need to be standardized. Additionally, laws and even the Constitution may need amendments to accommodate this change. The committee is expected to submit its recommendations to President Droupadi Murmu before the next Lok Sabha elections.
One of the crucial challenges will be the transition phase. Currently, different states hold assembly elections at different times. Aligning these with parliamentary elections will require some adjustments in the tenure of certain assemblies. This transition process will be complex and time-consuming, as it involves legislative changes.
After analyzing the committee’s report, the government will need to take steps to make these proposed changes. This involves a thorough legislative process, which can take time. It’s a significant undertaking that requires careful consideration and planning.
