Majority of respondents accepted that simultaneous elections will bring stability in democracy, will reduce corruption, election and other unnecessary expenses, will strengthen nationalism, speed up development process etc. Simultaneous elections are not disadvantageous for country like India as it is not a new phenomenon for Indians.
