KOLKATTA: Former President Ramnath Kovind has emphasized that the simultaneous election model is a strategic and efficient approach, essential for ensuring the all-round progress of India’s population. The model proposes the conduct of Lok Sabha and state assembly elections simultaneously across the nation to streamline governance, reduce costs, and enhance administrative efficiency.
Ramnath Kovind stated that implementing a one-nation, one-poll system would simplify the electoral process, minimize disruptions caused by frequent elections, and create a more stable political and economic environment. According to him, this approach would allow governments to focus on development priorities without the distraction of repeated elections.
This proposal has been a significant discussion point in Indian political circles, with experts pointing to its potential to strengthen democratic processes while promoting developmental agendas. The model has received mixed responses from political parties, but Kovind’s endorsement highlights its feasibility for India’s diverse and vast electorate.
The former President also emphasized that synchronized elections would ensure timely policy implementation, increased voter participation, and reduced election-related expenditure. This strategic move, according to him, will enhance India’s ability to tackle socio-economic challenges and ensure governance continuity.
With elections becoming more technology-driven and streamlined planning playing a key role, the simultaneous elections model could prove transformative for a developing nation like India.
