Campaigning for the first phase of Rajasthan’s local body elections halted at 6 pm on Monday, with voting scheduled for September 9 across 162 bodies; parties now rely on door‑to‑door canvassing.
The election machinery in Rajasthan announced that the official campaign for the first phase of the local body polls concluded at 6 pm on Monday. The phase covers 162 municipal and panchayat bodies, with voters set to cast their ballots on 9 September. With the formal campaigning window closed, political parties and candidates have shifted to direct voter contact.
Election officials have confirmed that no further public rallies or mass meetings are permitted until the polling day, citing security and logistical considerations. Consequently, campaign teams are intensifying door‑to‑door visits, distributing pamphlets and engaging residents individually to convey their messages.
Analysts note that the door‑to‑door approach may become decisive in tightly contested wards, where personal interaction often influences voter preferences. The Election Commission has urged all participants to adhere to the code of conduct and maintain a peaceful environment ahead of the September 9 vote.
