3/20/25, 2:33 PM ‘One nation, one election’ bills to be introduced in Lok Sabha on December 16 - The Hindu

The ruling BJP took a major step towards implementing its key plank of "one nation,
one election" on Thursday as the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi approved the constitutional amendment bill to roll out the concept of
simultaneous Lok Sabha and state assembly polls.
Two draft legislations, including one simple bill to amend provisions in laws dealing
with three Union territories with legislative assemblies to align them with the
Constitution amendment bill, were given the nod by the Cabinet.
The proposed constitutional amendment bill would deal with making provisions for
holding Lok Sabha and state legislative assembly elections together.
While a high-level committee led by former president Ram Nath Kovind on
simultaneous polls had also proposed holding municipality and panchayat elections
along with the national and state elections in a phased manner, the Cabinet has
decided to stay away, "as of now", from the manner in which local body elections are
conducted.
