Lok Sabha extends deadline for 'One Nation, One Election'

The Lok Sabha approved on Tuesday a motion to extend the deadline for the Joint Parliamentary Committee to submit its report on the ‘One Nation, One Election Bill'. 

The committee will now present its findings by the first day of the last week of the Winter Session in 2025.

The motion was moved by P P Chaudhary, Chairman of the ‘One Nation, One Election’ Panel, who urged the House to grant additional time for the committee to complete its work on the Constitution (One



Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

“I rise to move that this House do extend time for the presentation of the Report of the Joint Committee on the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, up to the first day of the last week of the Winter Session, 2025,” Chaudhary stated in the Lower House, speaking over the din of intense protests from the Opposition benches.
