The third phase of Rajasthan's Panchayati Raj elections commenced on Tuesday, with voting taking place in 27 districts across 2,496 wards.
The Election Commission of India has opened the third phase of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj polls on Tuesday. Voters in 27 districts are casting ballots across a total of 2,496 wards, which include 377 seats for district councils and 2,119 seats for Panchayat Samiti bodies.
A slate of 9,094 candidates is contesting these positions, representing a mix of political parties and independent aspirants. The polling process is being monitored by security forces and election officials to ensure a peaceful and transparent exercise.
The third phase follows two earlier rounds that covered other districts in the state. As the vote count proceeds, observers will watch for any shifts in local power dynamics that could influence future state-level politics.
Election officials have urged citizens to adhere to COVID-19 protocols while voting, and have set up additional polling stations to accommodate the large electorate.
Results from this phase are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, providing a clearer picture of the composition of Rajasthan's rural governance bodies.
