The Rajasthan election commission has shifted the first and second phases of Jhunjhunu district’s local body polls to September 9 and September 11 to accommodate Bhadvii Amavasya religious observances.
The Rajasthan State Election Commission announced a revision of the polling schedule for the local body elections in Jhunjhunu district. The adjustment was made to avoid a clash with the Bhadvii Amavasya, a significant religious observance in the region.
The first phase of voting is now set for September 9, followed by the second phase on September 11. Both dates replace the previously announced timetable.
Election officials said the change will allow voters to participate without compromising their religious commitments, and logistical arrangements are being updated accordingly.
The commission emphasized that the rescheduling does not affect the overall election timeline or the number of seats contested.
