The Centre is eyeing a special Parliament session to revive the women's reservation amendment, with sources expecting a 15 to 18 vote cushion.

It needs 361 votes in the 543-seat Lok Sabha, where three seats are vacant, after an earlier attempt failed there on April 17.

The move is tied to delimitation, which could lift the House to 850 seats and make room for 33 per cent reservation for women. No dates have been disclosed yet, and the aim is to have it in place before the 2029 polls.
