Rajasthan Urban Local Body Elections Proceed with Repolling in Four Areas
Rajasthan's urban local body elections are underway with candidates from BJP, Congress, and others filing nominations for mayoral and chairperson posts in 305 urban bodies. Repolling occurred on September 16 at 10 polling stations in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, and Suket due to electronic voting machine glitches, with counting scheduled for September 17. Elections for mayors and chairpersons in the 305 bodies are set for September 21, followed by deputy positions on September 22, while polls in four bodies with repolling will follow a revised schedule.
