After law commission's meet yesterday, it has said that simultaneous elections can be held in two phases beginning 2019, provided at least two provisions of the constitution are amended and ratified by majority of the states. Some provisions of the representation of the people act will also have to be amended by a simple majority in parliament. Putting up its working paper on holding simultaneous polls in public domain, the law panel has sought the views of constitutional experts, political parties and other stakeholders before finalising its report asking them to submit their standby May 8.
