Centre Introduces Bills In Lok Sabha For 'One Nation One Election'; Law Minister Agrees For Examination By Joint Parliamentary Committee

Live Law  

Two bills which aim to achieve One Nation One Election–'The Constitution 129th Amendment Bill 2024' as well as the 'The Union Territories Laws Amendment Bill 2024, were introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday after a voting process. The Union Territories Laws Amendment Bill 2024 proposes to make consequential amendments in Section 5 of the Government of Union Territories Act 1962, Section 5 of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act 1991 and the Section 17 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019, to align holding of simultaneous elections along with the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies. The proposed article specifically explains that "simultaneous elections" shall mean general elections held for constituting the House of the People and all the legislative assemblies "together". It thereafter states that "notwithstanding anything in the Constitution or in any law, before the expiry of full term of house of people, the ECI shall conduct general elections to the House of People and all Legislative Assemblies simultaneously and provision of Part XV shall apply to these elections mutatis mutandis with such modifications as may become necessary and which the ECI may by order specify". If in case, the elections of legislative assemblies cannot be held together and is deferred, then notwithstanding Article 172 the full term of legislative assembly "shall end on the same date as the end of the full term of the House of people" constituted in the general election.
