Jaipur: The dates of Rajasthan Assembly Elections 2023 have been revised by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The earlier polling date, set for November 23, has now been postponed to November 25. The counting of votes will take place on December 3.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) stated that the decision to change the polling date was prompted by feedback from several political parties, social organisations, and concerns raised by several media platforms. The decision was made in light of the large-scale wedding/social engagement on that day, which could potentially inconvenience a substantial portion of the population. Furthermore, it was made to address logistical challenges and to ensure that more people are able to participate in the voting process during the election.
Elections for five other states were also announced; Assembly Elections 2023 will be held in Mizoram on November 7, Chhattisgarh on November 7 and November 17, Madhya Pradesh on November 17 and Telangana on November 30. Polling in Chattisgarh will be held in two phases and all votes will be counted on December 3.
