Lok Sabha extends tenure of committee examining ‘one nation, one election’ bills
Dec-11-2025

The Lok Sabha has extended the tenure of the parliamentary committee examining Bills that seek to introduce simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and State legislative assemblies. Committee Chairman P.P. Chaudhary moved the motion seeking extension of the tenure of the Joint Committee on the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, up to the first day of the last week of the 2026 Budget session.

The Lok Sabha adopted the motion by a voice vote. The committee has met constitutional experts, economists, Law Commission Chairman Dinesh Maheshwari, among others, since it was constituted last December.

The panel met again on December 10, 2025 under Chaudhary's chairmanship, with BJP MPs Sambit Patra and Anurag Thakur, Congress MPs Manish Tewari and Sukhdeo Bhagat, and SP MP Dharmendra Yadav in attendance. Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal appeared before the committee to present his views on the proposed 'One Nation, One Election' framework.
