Deputy mayor polls were conducted simultaneously in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota as part of Rajasthan’s local body elections.
The Rajasthan State Election Commission oversaw the voting for deputy mayor positions in three of the state’s major municipal corporations – Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota. Ballots were cast on the scheduled date, with polling stations set up across each city to accommodate registered voters.
These elections form a crucial segment of the broader local body polls that determine the composition of municipal leadership for the next five years. Candidates representing various political parties and independent groups vied for the deputy mayoral seats, seeking to influence urban governance and development agendas.
While the counting of votes is slated for the coming days, officials have emphasized that the process will be transparent and in line with electoral guidelines. The outcomes will shape the administrative hierarchy of the three corporations, complementing the mayoral offices already elected earlier this month.
