One nation-one election - Yojana - 65(6), May, 2021: p.28-31

Simultaneous elections reduce labour, time, and expenditure in the conduct of elections and instances of pause in governance are addressed if elections are conducted in one go instead of staggered elections. Bringing the terms of all the Houses to sync with one another necessarily calls for either extending the terms of several of the Houses or curtailing of terms or a combination of both, that too by two to three years in some cases. For enabling such curtailing or extension of the term, the relevant Articles of the Constitution will have to be suitably amended. – Reproduced
