New Delhi: The Election Commission has told the Law Commission that implementation of simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and state Assemblies would require some time.
Law Commission Chairman Justice (retd) Ritu Raj Awasthi told IANS that the poll panel, during consultation with the law panel, did not comment anything per se on implementation of 'One Nation, One Election' before the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
