A reservation lottery was held today to allocate SC, ST, OBC and women reserved seats for the upcoming Rajasthan panchayat elections' sarpanch and ward‑panch posts.
The State Election Commission of Rajasthan conducted a reservation lottery today to decide which panchayat constituencies will be earmarked for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes and women candidates. The draw applies to both sarpanch and ward‑panch positions, which are the key leadership roles in rural local bodies.
The lottery outcome will be published shortly, guiding political parties and independent candidates on where they can field nominees from the reserved categories. This step is part of the broader preparation for the statewide panchayat elections slated for later this year.
Election officials said the process was transparent, with representatives from major parties and civil‑society groups observing the draw. The final reservation list will be made available on the commission's website and at district election offices.
