One can categorically state that there has been no proportionality in terms of votes polled and seats secured, and this is the direct result of the first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system. India adopted the FPTP electoral system and continues to hold on to it, while other multicultural societies across the world follow a proportional representation (PR) electoral system to reflect the heterogeneity of their demography and political aspirations. The Indian Law Commission, in its 170th report in 1999 and 277th report in 2015, had recommended the centre to reboot the electoral system by combining FPTP with PR, based on the German hybrid electoral system (Nasir and Anuragini 2019). However, one should be cautious that PR is not a panacea for all the ills plaguing our electoral system.
