The implementation of One Nation, One Election (ONOE) is expected to exert a profound influence on voter behaviour, introducing a significant predisposition towards casting votes for the same political party at both the national and state levels. An academic study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Advanced Study of India in 2020, titled ‘Behavioral Voters in a Decentralized Democracy’ authored by Sabyasachi Das, Apurav Yash Bhatiya and Vimal Balasubramanian, empirically demonstrates that in simultaneous elections, voters tend to prioritise heuristics such as party affiliation over the individual characteristics of candidates. Remarkably, this research establishes that the likelihood of a candidate securing victory in both the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections increases by approximately 21 per cent. An earlier study by IDFC Institute analysed the voting behaviour of 513 million voters between 1999 and 2014. It found that 77 per cent people voted for the same party (national party) while this per cent dropped to 61 per cent when the elections were nearly six months apart.
