Why is the issue of simultaneous elections being discussed by a Parliamentary panel
Parliamentary panel to convene for the first meeting to discuss the concept of simultaneous polls.
- Enhance Governance Efficiency: Simultaneous elections could help reduce the frequent disruptions caused by continuous election cycles, allowing the government to focus on policy-making and implementation.
- Cost-saving Measure: Conducting elections together for both the Lok Sabha and state assemblies could potentially save a significant amount of money spent on separate elections.
- Reduce Model Code of Conduct Impact: Continuous elections lead to prolonged implementation of the Model Code of Conduct, which hampers development activities.
- Strengthen Democracy: Simultaneous elections might lead to more informed voting decisions by enabling a clearer comparison of state and national development agendas.
