NEW DELHI: The Law Commission suggested a roadmap that includes changes required in the Constitution for holding simultaneous elections before a high-level committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind.
While the Law Ministry had asked the law panel to study the feasibility on holding Lok Sabha and assembly polls together, the Kovind panel on One Nation, One Election’ has been mandated to examine the possibility of holding Lok Sabha, assembly and panchayat and municipality polls together.
Sources said the report of the law panel on simultaneous polls is not yet finalised. They said ‘some more things are required to be done,’ indicating that the law panel will be invited again by the high-level committee.
According to an official statement, the high-level committee noted the resignation of Adhir Ranjan Choudhury, leader of the single largest party in the Lok Sabha, from the membership of the committee.
The day the panel was constituted, Chowdhury had declined to be a part of it.
