flag India seeks to fast-track 33% women's reservation in Parliament and state assemblies before 2029 elections, bypassing census delays.

flag The Indian government is exploring amendments to the 2023 Women’s Reservation Bill to implement 33% reserved seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies before the next delimitation, bypassing the need for a completed Census and population enumeration. flag Officials are consulting opposition parties on removing the current requirement tied to delimitation, which has delayed implementation. flag The goal is to advance the law’s rollout by the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, despite concerns over legal challenges and political resistance. flag The bill, passed unanimously, remains pending due to procedural delays, with the next Census expected in 2027.
