The One Nation, One Election Bill proposes holding Lok Sabha and state assembly polls together but delays implementation until 2034. Approved by the Union Cabinet, the bill seeks to amend Articles 83, 172, and 327 of the Constitution to align assembly terms with the Lok Sabha. Elections after 2029 will synchronize terms, with mid-term polls filling unexpired terms if assemblies dissolve early. The bill also includes changes for Union Territories like Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir. Based on recommendations by the Kovind Committee, the proposal will be presented in the Lok Sabha on Monday for discussion and approval.
