Centre plans to introduce 'One nation One Election' Bill in this Parliament session: Reports
The JPC is likely to hold discussions with representatives of all political parties and other stakeholders.
Initially, the government wants to involve the people, and the ways and means to achieve this can be discussed later, NDTV quoting sources said.
Implementing the "One nation one election" plan would take at least six bills to amend the Constitution and the government would need a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
While the NDA has a simple majority in both houses of parliament, getting a two-thirds majority in either house can be challenging.
Of the 245 seats in Rajya Sabha, the NDA has 112, and the Opposition parties 85. For a two-thirds majority, the government needs at least 164 votes.
