Law Commission can also make recommendation

Besides, the Law Commission may recommend simultaneous elections for all three levels of government – ​​Lok Sabha, state assemblies and local bodies such as municipalities and panchayats – from 2029. It may also recommend provision for a unity government in case of a no-confidence motion or indefinite absence of majority in the House.

The Kovind committee did not set any time frame for holding simultaneous elections. It recommended 18 constitutional amendments, most of which would not require ratification by state legislatures.
