A High-Level Committee, led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, recommends fresh polls in the event of a hung Parliament or Assembly under the 'One Nation, One Election' initiative. The committee also suggests synchronizing municipal and panchayat elections with the House of the People. The report, submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, advocates simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and assemblies, followed by local body elections within 100 days. With extensive consultations and overwhelming public support, the committee believes its recommendations will enhance transparency, inclusivity, and voter confidence, fostering development and social cohesion in India.
