On September 22, Rajasthan began polling for deputy mayor, vice‑president and vice‑chair posts in 301 local bodies following recent mayoral elections.
Rajasthan's Election Commission opened the ballot boxes on September 22 for the deputy mayor, vice‑president and vice‑chair positions across 301 municipal and panchayat bodies. The polling follows the recently concluded mayoral elections and is part of the state's scheduled local‑government cycle.
Election officials reported that voting stations were set up in each of the bodies, with electronic voting machines deployed to ensure a transparent process. Turnout figures are being compiled, but early observations indicate active participation from party cadres and local residents.
The contest has drawn sharp exchanges among party workers, particularly between members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and opposition groups, as they vie for control of key local offices. The outcomes will shape administrative leadership in towns and villages ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.
Results are expected to be announced within the next few days, after the counting of votes at designated centers. The election's smooth conduct is being closely watched as a barometer of Rajasthan's democratic health ahead of upcoming state‑level polls.
