On 'One Nation, One Election', ncp mp supriya sule says, "We don't even know what the proposal of One Nation, One election is... No one knows how it will be implemented. Therefore, india Alliance Have asked questions to many people, but the government is not answering..." The idea of One Nation, One election (ONOE) means simultaneous elections to the lok sabha and all Legislative Assemblies (State Assemblies) once in five years. This does not include elections for Panchayats, State Municipalities and by-elections. This initiative would require a constitutional amendment, which would require ratification by 50% of the states.
How much will it cost?
According to the election commission, if simultaneous elections are held for the lok sabha and state assemblies, the election commission will require an estimated Rs 10,000 crore every 15 years to purchase new electronic voting machines (EVMs). In a message sent to the government, the commission said the shelf life of EVMs is 15 years and a set of machines can be used to conduct three cycles of elections in their lifetime if elections are held simultaneously. According to estimates, a total of 11.8 lakh polling stations will need to be built across india for the lok sabha elections this year.

The aam aadmi party (AAP) on saturday said that holding simultaneous elections in the country will harm the idea of parliamentary democracy and the basic structure of the Constitution. AAP said this system would not be able to deal with a hung legislature. The comment by AAP, a constituent of the opposition alliance 'India', came a day after the congress strongly opposed the idea of 'one country, one election'.
