Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has proposed a major electoral reform by seeking to lower the minimum age for contesting Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections from 25 years to 21 years. The Chief Minister has also proposed reducing the eligibility age for contesting Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections from 30 years to 25 years. Telangana is expected to convene a special Assembly session in early August to pass a resolution urging the Centre to amend the relevant laws. Linking the proposal to the recent NEET paper leak protests, Revanth Reddy said India's youth deserve greater representation in politics and governance. He questioned why 21-year-olds, who are eligible to become IAS, IPS, and IFS officers and contest local body elections, cannot contest parliamentary or assembly elections.

The Election Commission has informed a parliamentary committee that it is prepared to conduct One Nation, One Election, provided it receives six months' advance notice. The committee chairman said the poll body believes simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections could begin from 2029 if Parliament passes the required constitutional amendments by 2028. Supporters say the reform will reduce election costs and improve governance, while critics argue it could weaken federalism and create constitutional and logistical challenges if governments complete different terms. The proposal is now under review as the parliamentary panel prepares its recommendations.
