"Some states where assembly polls were held recently may suffer if 'one nation, one election' is made a law. But it will have no impact in Arunachal as the northeastern state had held simultaneous polls even in 2019," Jerang added.

Officials in Delhi said simultaneous elections will result in huge savings for the public exchequer and avoid replication of effort on the part of the administrative and the law and order machinery. It will also bring considerable savings to political parties and candidates in their election campaigns, they said.
