One nation, one election mechanism may be ready for rollout by 2029: Joint panel chief

10 Jul 2026 Evaluate

The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) chairperson and the BJP MP PP Chaudhary said joint committee examining the bills on simultaneous elections is working to evolve a mechanism that could make the proposed 'One Nation, One Election' reform operational by the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.

Talking on the sidelines of the Joint Parliamentary Committee's (JPC) two-day meeting in Goa, PP Chaudhary stated that nearly 99 per cent of civil society stakeholders consulted so far have backed the proposal, which aims to curb an estimated Rs 7 lakh crore economic loss caused by frequent polls.

The committee began its deliberations in Goa on the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, with an interaction with Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and members of his cabinet, seeking their views on the challenges involved in implementing simultaneous elections and ways to address them.

JPC cheif said the committee has visited Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi, where it met constitutional experts, civil society organisations, educationists and other stakeholders.

On the timeline for implementation, Chaudhary said the panel was examining various options and indicated that the reform could be rolled out by the next general elections in 2029. He said there is also a possibility of bringing some states into alignment before that if political parties and the chief ministers voluntarily agree to synchronise their electoral cycles.

Highlighting the economic rationale behind the proposal, Chaudhary cited findings placed before the high-level committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind. Chaudhary also said repeated elections disrupt governance and affect education because teachers are regularly assigned election-related work, including preparing electoral rolls, training and polling duties.

The BJP MP described simultaneous elections as a ‘major electoral reform’ envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said it would help the country move towards its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. He added, ‘The details will emerge with time. The objective is to build a broad consensus and evolve a practical mechanism acceptable to all.’
