Simultaneous elections in plural societies: Overlapping social cleavages and democratic stability in India
- Economic and Political Weekly
- 59(1), Jan 6, 2024: p.42-46
The contentious proposal of “one nation, one election” is critically examined. The interwoven relationship between elections, social cleavages, federal balance, and the potential implications of simultaneous elections for democratic (in)stability in India is explored. In doing so, comparative literature on concurrent elections is studied to assuage its merits and demerits, and better understand the implications for a country like India.- Reproduced
