As India moves toward 2026, the discussion around simultaneous elections has intensified, focusing on whether a unified electoral calendar can fix a governance system currently trapped in a "perpetual campaign mode." For a nation striving for rapid economic growth and scientific literacy, understanding the massive financial and administrative drain of frequent elections is crucial.
