Where fresh elections are held for the House of the People, the tenure of the House of the People will be only for the unexpired term of the immediately preceding full term of the House of the People and the expiration of this period shall operate as a dissolution of the House, it recommended.
The High-Level Committee on 'One Nation One Election' led by former President Ram Nath Kovind in its report recommended that in the events of a hung Assembly or hung Parliament, or a no-confidence motion constitutes the new House, fresh elections may be held for the remainder of the five-year term.
Where fresh elections are held for the House of the People, the tenure of the House of the People will be only for the unexpired term of the immediately preceding full term of the House of the People and the expiration of this period shall operate as a dissolution of the House, the committee recommended.
The High Committe panel also recommended that elections to the Municipalities and the Panchayats be synchronised with the House of the People. Simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha, assemblies can be held in the first step, followed by local body polls within 100 days in the second step. This will require ratification by not less than one-half of the States.
