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. After due deliberation and examination of all
the material available on record and the consultations held on the subject, the Committee
submitted its recommendations to the Hon'ble President on 14th March, 2024. 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. The tenure of all Legislative Assemblies, constituted by elections to
the Legislative Assemblies after the appointed date and before the expiry of the full
term of the House of the People, shall come to an end on the expiry of the full term
of the House of the People. Thereafter, all general elections to the House of the
People and all Legislative Assemblies shall be held together simultaneously. In case
of dissolution of the House of the People or a Legislative Assembly, sooner than the
full term of the House of the People or the Legislative Assembly, the term of the
House or Assembly constituted pursuant to elections shall be for the unexpired term
of the House or the Assembly.
7. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives.
