US President Donald Trump has claimed that newly declassified intelligence reveals major vulnerabilities in America's election system and alleged that China obtained 220 million US voter files beginning during the 2020 election cycle. Speaking from the White House, Trump said the data included sensitive voter information and argued that it exposed the country to foreign interference. He also announced that the declassified documents would be released publicly and renewed his call for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voter identification, proof of citizenship and tighter rules on mail-in voting. While US media noted that the documents are newly declassified, they also reported that many of the security concerns referenced have been publicly discussed for years. Trump's broader allegations about the 2020 election remain disputed, and the proposed legislation continues to face significant political hurdles in Congress.

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.
