Ek Desh, Ek Chunaav: Towards Electoral Reforms by Piyush Gupta | One Nation One Election & Indian Electoral Reforms Book

Product Overview & Details

Ek Desh, Ek Chunaav: Towards Electoral Reforms by Piyush Gupta is a detailed book on the concept of simultaneous elections, electoral reforms, and the idea of “One Nation, One Election” (ONOE) in India. Published by Prabhat Prakashan in 2025, the 208-page book examines the historical, constitutional, legal, administrative, and practical dimensions of conducting elections in a synchronised manner.

The concept of One Nation, One Election refers to the possibility of synchronising elections to the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, with discussions also extending to elections at local levels. The book seeks to provide readers with a broader understanding of how simultaneous elections could work and the issues involved in implementing such a system.

Written by Piyush Gupta, an advocate and legal professional, Ek Desh, Ek Chunaav explores the historical development of simultaneous elections in India, constitutional and legal considerations, potential challenges, arguments presented by different sides, and possible alternatives. The book also looks at contemporary debates surrounding electoral reform and the functioning of India's election cycle. 

A distinctive section of the book, titled “Lessons from the World,” examines approaches adopted by countries including Germany, Sweden, South Africa, Belgium, Indonesia, and the Philippines. These international examples provide readers with comparative perspectives on election scheduling, technology, administration, and methods used in different electoral systems.
