Fresh elections could be held to constitute a new Lok Sabha in the event of a hung House. New Delhi: A high-level panel led by former president Ram Nath Kovind submitted its report on ‘One Nation, One Election’ on Thursday.

The government must develop a legally tenable mechanism to restore the cycle of simultaneous elections.
In the first stage, elections for the Lok Sabha and all state legislative assemblies can be held together.

In the second step, the elections to municipalities and panchayats will be synchronised with the Lok Sabha and state assemblies in such a way that elections to municipalities and panchayats are held within 100 days of the holding of parliamentary and assembly polls.
To synchronise Lok Sabha and assembly elections, the president shall notify the date of the first sitting of the Lok Sabha after a general election as the “appointed date”.
