In September 2023 <\/b>the Union\u00a0 government established a panel led by former President Ram Nath Kovind to examine the “One Nation One Election<\/strong><\/a>” proposal. The commission has expressed support for this initiative, recommending its implementation starting in 2029. Recently, the Union Cabinet has also given its approval, marking a significant advancement toward streamlining the electoral process in India.\u00a0 Implementing the <\/span>“One Nation One Election<\/b>” initiative will require 15 constitutional amendments. While for some amendments, state consent is not needed, others will require the consent of more than half of the states. The opposition has already expressed its dissent against the proposal, raising questions about whether the government will be able to secure the necessary support for implementation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
