On December 11, 2025, the Lok Sabha approved extending the tenure of the parliamentary committee examining the bills aimed at introducing simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and State legislative assemblies. Committee Chairman P.P. Chaudhary moved a motion to extend the term of the Joint Committee on the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024. The extension runs up to the first day of the last week of the 2026 Budget session. The Lok Sabha adopted the motion by a voice vote. Since its formation last December, the committee has met constitutional experts, economists, and Law Commission Chairman Dinesh Maheshwari, among others, to discuss the proposed amendments.
