STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The general elections to the House of the People and all State Legislative Assemblies were held simultaneously in the years 1951-52, 1957, 1962 and 1967. However, due to premature dissolution of some Legislative Assemblies in 1968 and 1969, the cycle of holding polls simultaneously with the House of the People got disrupted. The Law Commission of India in its 170th report, on "Reform of the Electoral Laws", inter alia, suggested that holding separate elections for State Legislative Assemblies should be an exception rather than the rule. According to the Commission, the general rule should be to conduct elections once every five years for the House of the People and all State Legislative Assemblies together. The Department related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice, in its 79th report had also examined the feasibility of holding simultaneous elections to the House of the People (Lok Sabha) and State Legislative Assemblies and recommended an alternative and practicable methods of holding simultaneous elections is needed and expressed confidence that a solution would be found to reduce the frequency of electoral processes. 2. There is an imperative need for holding of simultaneous elections for various reasons and given that elections have become expensive and time consuming. The imposition of Model Code of Conduct in several parts of the country which are poll bound put on hold the entire development programmes, cause disruption of normal public life, impact the functioning of services and also curtail the involvement of manpower from their core activities for deployment for prolonged periods for election duties. 3. The High Level Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri Ram Nath Kovind, former President of India was constituted on 2nd September, 2023 to examine the issue of simultaneous elections and make recommendations for holding simultaneous elections in the country.

The Government has accepted the recommendations of the High Level Committee. 4. The High Level Committee, inter alia, has recommended that in the first stage elections to the House of the People and the Legislative Assemblies should be held simultaneously. For implementation of the recommendations of the High Level Committee, a Bill, namely, the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 is proposed providing for holding of simultaneous elections to the House of the People and all Legislative Assemblies. 5. The Bill proposes to insert a new article 82A (Simultaneous elections to the House of the People and all Legislative Assemblies) and to amend article 83 (Duration of Houses of Parliament), article 172 (Duration of State Legislatures) and article 327 (Power of Parliament to make provision with respect to elections to Legislatures). 6. The aforesaid Bill, inter alia, provides that after its enactment, a notification is to be issued by the President on the date of the first sitting of the House of the People after a general election, and that date of the notification shall be called the appointed date. The tenure of the House of the People shall be five years from that appointed date.
