Analyzing the consequences of One Nation One Election on India's Federal System

Author(s) Ms. Navdeep Kaur
Country India
Abstract The One Nation One Election concept has emerged as a very controversial topic in Indian politics, sparking debates on its consequences on the country's federal structure. One Nation One Election is a proposed system in which all the elections in India, be it for the Lok Sabha or for the assemblies of States, would occur simultaneously once in every five years. Through this reform, it is believed that the election expenditure will reduce and it will also improve governance. However, many believe that the implementation of one nation one election will have far-reaching impact on India's federal structure that creates a balance between the powers of the central government and the state governments. Federalism means the distribution of powers and duties between the Union and the state governments. However, One Nation One Election would centralize the entire election process, thus giving the Union government more control over state elections and this could pose various problems as it will impact the representation of smaller states in the government. This paper will analyze whether this concept of ONOE may marginalize regional parties interests, thereby undermining the issues of local importance. Focusing on the legal analysis and core constitutional principles this paper presents the multifaceted impact of ONOE on India's federal structure and on the basic structure of Indian Constitution. It emphasizes the necessity of upholding the core principles of democracy, federalism, and rule of law, while considering any reforms into the India's electoral framework. Finally this paper will analyze the potential consequences of ONOE on India's federal system.
