The state election commission has released the notification for the first phase of Rajasthan's Panchayati Raj elections, with the second phase notification expected within two days.
The Rajasthan State Election Commission has officially issued the notification for the first phase of the Panchayati Raj elections, marking the start of a four‑stage electoral process across the state. The notification outlines the schedule, constituency details and procedural guidelines for the upcoming polls.
According to the release, the second phase notification will be published within the next two days, completing the timetable for all four phases. Election officials have emphasized that the timeline adheres to statutory requirements and aims to ensure a smooth conduct of the grassroots elections.
Major political parties, including the BJP, Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party, have yet to announce their candidate lists, reportedly waiting to see the opponent's nominations before finalising their own. This strategic hold‑up reflects the competitive nature of local politics in Rajasthan's rural constituencies.
The commission has urged parties and candidates to submit their nominations within the stipulated window and has warned against any violations of the Model Code of Conduct once the polls commence.
Stakeholders anticipate that the phased approach will allow better monitoring of the electoral process and reduce logistical challenges in remote areas.
