“Mr. W: 'If the Indian Government can pass an 'ELECTION BILL' 

in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, to conduct  

Lok Sabha Election, Assembly Polls and Panchayat Election 

at the same time in every state once in each 5 years, 

then, nothing can be better than that.'

Mr. X: 'Yes, it is indeed. The amount of money that will be saved 

by conducting all elections of all states once in each 5 years 

at the same time, can be used to boost the Indian economy. 

Mr. Y: 'But, the only thing is that for such elections, more manpower 

is required. In each booth, you require 3 EVMs, 3 Presiding Officers, 

3 First Polling Officers, 3 Second Polling Officers, 

3 Third Polling Officers and 6 Policemen. Total 18 staffs in 

each school where there will be 3 booths (1 for Lok Sabha Election, 

1 for Assembly Polls and 1 for Panchayat Election). 

Mr. Z: 'Point to be noted here that the EVM for the 

Panchayat Election will be a special one as in a row, 

there will be names of 3 candidates of the same party 

with 3 buttons in a row. In DC/RC of BDO, there will be 

3 departments; 1 for Lok Sabha Election, 

1 for Assembly Polls and 1 for Panchayat Election.'” - Arindam Sain
