RAJASTHAN ELECTION PUT OFF
BY TWO DAYS
Nov. 25 declared as the new polling date after the Election Commission received several requests in view of the 'Dev Uthani Ekadasi' on Nov. 23
Sreeparna Chakrabarty | NEW DELHI
The Assembly poll in Rajasthan would now be held on November 25 instead of November 23 as announced earlier, the Election Commission (EC) said on Wednesday. The change in schedule has been effected considering "large-scale" weddings and social engagements on the earlier date.
On October 9, the EC announced election dates for five
States, including Rajasthan where the poll was scheduled to be held on November
23. The date coincides with an auspicious day for the Hindus, 'Dev Uthani
Ekadashi', when thousands of weddings take place in
Rajasthan.
"Subsequently,
representations have been received in the
Commission from various political parties, social organisations and also issues
raised in various media platforms for change of date of poll considering
large-scale weddings and social engagements on that day which may cause inconvenience to large number of people, various logistic issues and may lead to reduced voters' participation during poll," the poll body said in a statement on Wednesday.
It said that considering these factors, the Commission
decided to change the date of polling to November 25. The counting of votes though will take place as
scheduled on December 3, along with the
other States.
