Jaipur — The Rajasthan State Election Commission has revised the itinerary for the upcoming Panchayat elections, shifting only the dates when election teams travel to their assigned constituencies. The amendment, intended to respect the Dhanteras festival and ease voter logistics, leaves the actual polling dates untouched.
Phase One
Election crews heading to Zila Parishad and Panchayat Samiti contests will now set out on October 21, with voting scheduled for October 22.
Nomination drives for Panch and Sarpanch seats are slated for October 23, followed by the ballot on October 24. The Up‑Sarpanch election will be conducted on October 25.
Phase Two
For the second round, teams will depart on October 27 and hold Zila Parishad and Panchayat Samiti elections on October 28.
Nomination for Panch and Sarpanch posts is set for October 29, with polling on October 30. The Up‑Sarpanch contest follows on October 31.
Phase Three
The third‑phase departure has been moved forward to November 2, and voting for Zila Parishad and Panchayat Samiti members will occur on November 3.
Nomination for Panch and Sarpanch positions is scheduled for November 4, with polling on November 5 and the Up‑Sarpanch election on November 6.
Polling Dates Remain Fixed
The commission stressed that the ballot dates themselves have not changed; only the movement schedule of election teams has been adjusted.
This change prevents any election activity from coinciding with Dhanteras, a major Hindu festival, thereby avoiding inconvenience for voters and officials during the celebrations.
With the updated timetable, the election process will continue on the previously announced polling dates while accommodating the festive calendar.
