According to a recent study, India’s GDP could see a growth of 1.5% if simultaneous elections are held in the country. The study suggests that having all elections – from local to national levels – take place at the same time could lead to cost savings and increased efficiency. The findings indicate that holding simultaneous elections would not only boost economic growth but also reduce the burden on the exchequer. This move could potentially save billions of rupees that are currently spent on conducting separate elections. The study further highlights that simultaneous elections would allow the government to focus more on governance and policy implementation rather than being preoccupied with election preparations. It could also lead to better decision-making processes and continuity in development projects. The idea of simultaneous elections has been a topic of debate in India for several years, with proponents arguing that it would streamline the electoral process and bring about stability in governance. However, implementing simultaneous elections would require significant constitutional amendments and political consensus. Despite the challenges, the study emphasizes the potential benefits of this move for India’s economic and political landscape.
