One Nation, One Election

One Nation, One Election (abbr. ONOE), is a proposal under consideration by the Government of India to synchronise all elections in the country either on a single day or within a specific time frame, with an objective of cutting election cost. One of its most notable proposals is to simultaneously conduct elections to the Lok Sabha & state legislative assemblies of all twenty-eight states and eight union territories. For the purpose of ONOE, Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced The Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024 in Lok Sabha on 17 December 2024 to amend the Constitution of India. The bill was referred to Joint Parliamentary Committee on 19 December 2024.
