The Defence Minister of India, Rajnath Singh, emphasised the need for 'One Nation, One Election' during a poll rally in Rajasthan on Sunday. Singh highlighted that this approach would save time and resources for the nation, asserting that the Congress party would be the sole opposition to this idea.

Among the former chief justices of major HCs, nine supported simultaneous elections, highlighting their potential benefits while three raised concerns or objections. Former Delhi High Court chief justice Ajit Prakash Shah opposed the concept of simultaneous elections, noting it may curb democratic expression along with concerns about distorted voting patterns and state-level political alterations.

The submission of the One Nation One Election report to President Droupadi Murmu by the high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind marks a watershed moment in India's democratic landscape, hailed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

A high-level committee chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind has recommended simultaneous elections across India in a comprehensive report spanning over 18,626 pages.

The committee chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind will likely recommend a concrete model for One Nation, One Election today to President Droupadi Murmu for setting up a synchronised poll formula for India.

In a letter to the chairman of the high-level committee on 'One Nation One Election' Ram Nath Kovind, Shinde said simultaneous polls are one of the "most critical reforms" proposed by the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
