It gives us immense pleasure to invite you for the
Discussion on Simultaneous Elections – Possibilities and Challenges
being organised by the Association for Democratic Reforms on
26th October 2016, Wednesday, at 6:00 PM
at the India International Centre, New Delhi.
Though spoken about for a few years, the possibility of simultaneous elections
to the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies is now becoming a matter of national
debate and discussion. The Central Government is also seeking inputs from the
public through the MyGov web portal.
With this as the backdrop, we are holding the consultation to discuss the
issues of the cost of elections, its effect on governance, the federal
structure, and other challenges expected from this proposition.
Shri Bhupender Yadav, Member of Parliament – Rajya Sabha,
Dr. S. Y. Quraishi, former Chief Election Commissioner,
Prof. Sanjay Kumar, Director of CSDS, and
Dr. Madhavan, President of PRS Legislative Research
will deliberate on issues related to
Simultaneous Elections in India.
We look forward to your participation and inputs in making the conference
a success.
