Since the 'One Nation, One Poll Bill' seeks to amend the Constitution, it will require support of two-thirds of the members present and voting.
The two bills that lay down legal framework to hold simultaneous polls in the country are latest in the series of draft laws to be referred to a joint committee of Parliament since 2015.
The two bills referred together to the joint panel are 12th since 2015 to be sent to a committee of the two Houses.
With the opposition in Lok Sabha dubbing the measures as an attack on federalism, the government referred them to a joint committee of Parliament for detailed scrutiny and wider consultations.
