The Union Cabinet has granted its approval to the pivotal "One Nation, One Election" bill, a key step towards the simultaneous conduct of elections across the country. The decision was taken during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The bill, aimed at synchronizing national and state elections, will be presented in the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament. Once introduced, it is expected to be referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for extensive consultations. Sources suggest that the government intends to engage the Speakers of all state assemblies in discussions regarding the bill.
This development follows the submission of a report by the Ram Nath Kovind Committee, which the government had tasked with evaluating the feasibility of simultaneous elections.
