Kota Delimitation Cuts 50 Wards Ahead of Municipal Elections

The state government announced that the number of municipal wards in Kota will be reduced from 200 to 150, a cut of 50 wards, following a recent delimitation exercise. The new boundaries will cover a population of 8.24 lakh residents. The change is intended to streamline local governance and improve representation. The municipal‑panchayat elections, scheduled for later this year, will now be conducted under the revised ward structure. Officials said the delimitation aims to balance voter distribution and ensure equitable representation across the city.
