The committee, in its second meeting, launches website for receiving feedback
The panel headed by former president Ram Nath Kovind to examine the issue of holding simultaneous elections in the country has been renamed as the High Level Committee on One Nation, One Election, according to an official statement on Wednesday.
A high-level committee in India held its first meeting to discuss the feasibility of conducting simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The committee decided to invite political parties, the Law Commission, and the Election Commission to seek their views on the matter. The committee also plans to study Article 356 of the Constitution and rename itself as the "One Nation One Election" panel.
The government on September 2 had notified an eight-member committee to examine and make recommendations for holding elections to the Lok Sabha, the state Assemblies, municipalities and panchayats at the same time.
