In order to implement simultaneous elections, the ruling BJD in Odisha has proposed the idea of “constructive vote of no-confidence”, if any one of these simultaneously elected legislatures is brought down by a no-confidence motion.
About:
In the debate over simultaneous elections, one question being raised is what happens to the common cycle if any one of these simultaneously elected legislatures is brought down by a no-confidence motion.
The ruling BJD in Odisha has proposed “constructive vote of no-confidence” as a solution. It is followed in Germany. This was also recommended by the Law Commission of India in a 2018 draft report.
Scenario in Germany:
Under Constitution of Germany, Bundestag (Parliament) can remove a chancellor only when it simultaneously agrees on a successor.
This makes it harder to remove a chancellor because opponents of the chancellor not only must disagree with his or her governing but also must agree on a replacement.
The underlying premise is that there is a fixed five-year-tenure (for the House) and that there will be a government no matter what.
