ABSTRACT
Held periodically, elections are one of the principal features of a democratic framework. At the heart of its parliamentary system, India holds periodical, fair elections every five years at all three levels, National, State and Local. It observed that the election campaigns consume about a year, not to mention enormous money. With such time and energy consumed for conducting different State elections, the NDA government has conceptualised the "One Nation-One Election" system. The main idea is to synchronise the state legislatures and the Lok Sabha. The present research examines the concept of the "One Nation-One Election" theory and its implications, pros and cons and challenges. This study carries out the secondary data taken from various reports and research papers. Herein, we discuss the role of elections in Indian democracy, its historical study. Necessary amendments in Constitutions to be made and accordingly changes in legislation to pass.
