India's top legal body rules one-nation, one-election bill constitutional, but opposition argues it threatens federalism.
The Law Commission has declared India’s proposed One Nation, One Election bill constitutionally valid, stating it does not violate the basic structure or require state ratification.
It affirmed the Election Commission’s expanded powers are a logical extension of existing authority under Article 324 and do not amount to excessive delegation.
The Commission maintained Parliament can pass the bill under Article 368 without state consent, citing India’s quasi-federal structure.
Opposition lawmakers, however, challenge the move, arguing it undermines federalism and democratic accountability by eliminating mid-term review opportunities.
The debate continues as the Joint Parliamentary Committee reviews the proposal.
