Bypolls in 7 assembly seats in Rajasthan to be held on Nov 13, results on Nov 23

Voting for bypolls on seven assembly seats in Rajasthan will be held on November 13, with results to be declared on November 23, according to the Election Commission of India.

At a press conference in New Delhi on Tuesday, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar announced the schedule for bypolls in 48 assembly constituencies and two parliamentary constituencies across 15 states. In Rajasthan, the bypolls will take place in Jhunjhunu, Dausa, Deoli-Uniara, Khinvsar, Chaurasi, Salumbar, and Ramgarh assembly seats. Out of the seven seats, four were previously held by the Congress party.

Two by-elections are being conducted due to the deaths of the MLAs: Ramgarh’s Congress MLA Zubair Khan and Salumbar’s BJP MLA Amritlal Meena. In five constituencies, the MLAs were elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha polls, necessitating these bypolls. They include Congress MLA Brijendra Ola from Jhunjhunu, Congress MLA Harish Chandra Meena from Dausa, Rashtriya Loktantrik Party MLA Hanuman Beniwal from Khinvsar, and Rajkumar Roat of the Bharat Adivasi Party from Chaurasi.

Currently, the 200-seat state assembly has 114 MLAs from the Bharatiya Janata Party, 65 from the Congress, three from the Bharat Adivasi Party, two from the Bahujan Samaj Party, one from the Rashtriya Lok Dal, and eight Independent MLAs. According to official data, there are 1,862 polling stations and a total of 1,936,532 voters in the seven assembly seats that will hold bypolls next month.
