Cabinet Clears 'One Nation One Election' Bill In Big Step Towards Simultaneous Polls | Read
The Union Cabinet has cleared bills required to implement the 'one nation, one election' proposal - which proposes simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections and, at a later stage, municipal polls too - sources told NDTV Thursday afternoon. These bills - which look to amend at least five Articles of the Constitution - will likely be introduced in the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, sources added.
The bills were cleared at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Among those approved was an amendment to Article 82, which deals with state-wise allocation of Lok Sabha seats, and division of states into territorial constituencies, after each national census.
