Government may introduce Bill on simultaneous polls, refer it to joint committee for consultation

The Hindu  

Keen to hold wider consultations on the proposed Bills to implement simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha, State Assemblies and local bodies, the Union government may bring these Bills as early as the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, a government source said on Monday. Though the Union Cabinet had accepted the recommendations of former President Ram Nath Kovind-led high-level committee to hold simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha, State Assemblies and local bodies in a phased manner, the Cabinet it yet to approve the proposed Bills. One of the proposed Bills would seek to amend Article 82A by adding sub-clause relating to the ‘appointed date,’ after which simultaneous elections would be held in a phased manner. The third Bill will be an ordinary one to amend provisions in three laws dealing with Union Territories with legislative Assemblies — Puducherry, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir — to align the terms of these Houses with other legislative Assemblies and the Lok Sabha as proposed in the first constitutional amendment Bill.
