Law Commission backs big move for simultaneous elections

India Nov 28, 2025

India's Law Commission just gave a thumbs up to holding Lok Sabha and state assembly elections at the same time, saying the Constitution can be tweaked to make it happen.
They told Parliament's committee that those five-year terms aren't set in stone—they can be changed if needed.

Why should you care?

If this goes through, it could mean fewer election seasons (and less chaos) across India.
The Commission pointed out that the Constitution already allows for early dissolutions and emergency extensions, so there's room for change.
They also reassured everyone that this wouldn't mess with democracy.
The goal? Save money, cut down on disruptions, and make governance smoother—something that could impact how often you see election fever hit your city or campus.
