TheFuture Of Electoral Democracy
Sat Jun 27, 6:00 PM
Lamakaan Program council
Electoral democracy in India stands at a critical juncture. This talk examines three interconnected issues that have profound implications for democratic representation and governance: the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the proposed delimitation exercise, and the concept of One Nation, One Election.
By bringing these issues together, the talk seeks to address a broader question: how can India reform its electoral institutions while preserving the principles of representation, participation, accountability, and federal democracy? Through historical context, comparative perspectives, and contemporary developments, the session aims to foster an informed conversation on the future trajectory of India's democratic system and the choices that will shape its political landscape in the decades ahead.
