Early figures from the Oct 28 second phase of Rajasthan’s Panchayati Raj elections show Kota district topping voter turnout at 18.89% by 10 a.m., while Sirhohi recorded the lowest participation.
The second phase of Rajasthan's Panchayati Raj elections was held on October 28, with voters casting ballots for district council (Zila Parishad) and panchayat samiti members across 22 districts. In total, 352 ward seats for district councils and 2,197 ward seats for panchayat samitis were up for election.
As of 10 a.m., the Election Commission reported that Kota district recorded the highest voter turnout, reaching 18.89 percent of eligible voters. This early lead suggests a relatively active electorate in the region.
Conversely, Sirhohi lagged behind, posting the lowest turnout among the reporting areas. Officials continue to monitor participation rates as polling proceeds throughout the day.
The ongoing vote is part of a staggered schedule designed to ensure security and smooth administration across the state. Results will be compiled after the final phase concludes, determining the composition of local governing bodies for the next five years.
