ONE OF THE main concerns of parties opposed to simultaneous polls is that a nationally dominant party, with its bigger organisational strength and resources, could benefit at the cost of regional players. And that national issues may take precedence over regional ones.
If the Union government decides to implement simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies in 2029, the process will start as soon as the 2024 Lok Sabha polls end and many state Assemblies will be dissolved in 2029 much before the end of their five-year term to facilitate simultaneous elections.

For the second general elections, the Election Commission (EC), after holding consultations, recommended the dissolution of the Assemblies of a handful of states so that the second general elections to the Lok Sabha and the state Assemblies could be held together.
Out of the 47 political parties which gave their opinion to the Ram Nath Kovind-led panel on simultaneous elections, 32 supported the idea, whereas 15 opposed it.
