By 3 pm on the fourth phase of Rajasthan's panchayat polls, overall voter participation stood at 55.43%, with Peelpukhunt recording the highest turnout at 67.07%.
The fourth phase of Rajasthan's panchayat elections saw a mid‑day turnout of 55.43 per cent, according to figures released by the State Election Commission. The data, compiled up to 3 pm, reflects a steady increase in voter engagement compared with earlier phases.
Among the 31 panchayat committees voting in this round, the Peelpukhunt block of Pratapgarh district posted the highest participation, with 67.07 per cent of registered voters casting their ballots. Election officials attributed the robust turnout to intensive door‑to‑door campaigning by local candidates and the presence of polling stations within easy walking distance of villages.
Conversely, the Nainwan block in Bundi district recorded the lowest turnout at 41.55 per cent. Authorities noted that adverse weather conditions and limited transport options may have discouraged voters in the hilly terrain.
The State Election Commission has urged residents in low‑turnout areas to exercise their franchise before the phase concludes at 7 pm, emphasizing that the panchayat bodies elected now will manage local development projects for the next five years.
