Constitutional Amendment Bill to synchronise Lok Sabha, State Assembly terms

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The Constitutional Amendment Bill, which will pave the way for simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, proposes amendments and the insertion of new Articles to synchronise the terms of the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The bill is expected to be introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday As per a copy of the bill circulated late on Friday night, if the Lok Sabha or any state assembly is dissolved before the end of its full term, mid-term elections will be held only for that legislature to complete the remainder of its five-year term. The bill states: “Notwithstanding anything in Article 83 and Article 172, the term of all legislative assemblies constituted in any general election held after the appointed date and before the expiry of the full term of the House of the People shall come to an end on the expiry of the full term of the House of the People.” The bill also specifies that the tenure of the House of the People will be five years from the appointed date, and the tenure of all legislative assemblies elected after the appointed date will end with the tenure of the Lok Sabha. The Union Territories Laws Bill, 2024, proposes consequential amendments to Section 5 of the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963; Section 5 of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991; and Section 17 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, to synchronise elections with those of the House of the People and state legislative assemblies.
