The 'One Nation, One Election' panel, chaired by the former President of India Ramnath Kovind, had written to the poll panel on the issue of simultaneous polls. There were two key questions for the poll panel from the Kovind-led committee. One: The "logistics and manpower required, including EVM, VVPATs, for holding such simultaneous elections". Second: Modalities for use of "a single electoral roll and electoral identity cards for identification of voters for elections to the House of People, state legislative assemblies and municipalities and panchayats".
