A parliamentary committee in India announced that the proposed 'One Nation, One Election' model could be implemented by the 2029 Lok Sabha general elections.

The Joint Committee of Parliament is working to create the legislative framework needed to synchronize all national and state elections under a single voting cycle.

This reform aims to reduce the economic costs and administrative burdens caused by frequent elections while strengthening electoral stability.

  • The concept of simultaneous elections was first proposed during the 1999 government led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
  • Approximately 600 million voters are registered for Indian general elections, making it the world's largest democratic exercise.
