Voting for sarpanch and ward‑panch posts continues in 212 gram panchayats of Jaipur district, with 43.84% of ballots counted by 1 p.m.
The Rajasthan State Election Commission has kept the polling process active across 212 gram panchayats in Jaipur district, where residents are electing sarpanches and ward panches. By 1 p.m. on the polling day, the commission reported that 43.84% of the eligible voters had cast their ballots.
The ongoing election covers both the head of the village council (sarpanch) and the members representing individual wards (ward panches). The schedule was announced earlier this month, and polling stations have been set up in each of the participating villages to facilitate voter turnout.
Election officials said the current turnout reflects a steady participation rate, and they will continue to monitor the process to ensure a smooth conclusion. The final results are expected to be announced after all votes are counted, following the completion of polling in the remaining gram panchayats.
Local political analysts note that the outcome of these panchayat elections could influence development priorities and resource allocation at the village level, making the ongoing vote a key event for the district's governance.
