The Election Commission of India on Wednesday decided to change the schedule of Rajasthan Assembly polls. As per the new schedule, the polling will take place on November 25 (Saturday) instead of November 23.
Election to the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly will be held on November 23.
The EC said it received representations from various political parties and social organisations regarding the change of poll dates in view of large-scale wedding/social engagement on that day (November 23) which may cause inconvenience to a large number of people, various logistic issues and may lead to reduced voters participation during poll.

Earlier, BJP MP from Pali, PP Chaudhary wrote to the Election Commission of India to change the date of the Rajasthan election (23rd November) as it coincides with Dev Uthani Ekadashi.
Rajasthan BJP President CP Joshi said the people of Rajasthan have decided that there should be a double-engine government in the state. “PM Modi came to the state to inaugurate and lay the foundation of different projects. If you (Gehlot government) had worked for the state since 2018 then the exam paper leak would not have happened, farmers would not have committed suicide and there would be employment opportunities in the state,” he said.
