The Election Commission of India is expected to announce the poll dates by mid-March.
The Commission, headed by Justice Rituraj Awasthi, has recommended several amendments to the Constitution to facilitate a full-fledged rollout of simultaneous polls by 2029. Along with amendments to the Representation of the People Act, 1951, the panel may suggest a new chapter in the Constitution on holding simultaneous elections and the creation of a common electoral roll.
It was learnt that the high level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind has approved most of the suggestions and is also in favour of simultaneous elections across the country.
