NEW DELHI, Mar 8: The high-level committee led by former President of India Ram Nath Kovind is in the process of submitting its report to the Government on ‘One Nation, One Election".
Besides suggesting a procedure to synchronise the terms of State Assemblies to ensure that all polls are held together from 2029 onwards, the Committee is also likely to push for a common electoral roll for elections to Lok Sabha, Assemblies and local bodies, including municipalities and panchayats.
Set up in September 2023, the panel headed by former president Kovind was mandated to examine and make recommendations at the earliest on the issue of holding elections simultaneously.
