As of January 27, 2025, here is an overview of upcoming elections in key nations:
United States:
The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 2028, following the 2024 election where Donald Trump was re-elected. The U.S. holds presidential elections every four years, with the next midterm elections set for 2026.
India:
In India, several significant elections are anticipated:
- Delhi Legislative Assembly Election: Scheduled for February 5, 2025, this election will determine the governing party in the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
- Bihar Legislative Assembly Election: Expected in October or November 2025, voters in Bihar will elect their state representatives.
Additionally, there is an ongoing discussion about synchronizing federal and state elections to reduce costs and logistical challenges. The "One Nation, One Election" proposal aims to hold simultaneous elections every five years for the general election, state legislatures, and local bodies. This initiative would require a constitutional amendment and has sparked considerable debate. citeturn0news12
