The current term of about 50 municipal bodies will end in December, while another 90 will see their terms conclude by January next year.
“As a result, elections for all 305 municipal bodies will be conducted together in November this year,” Minister Kharra stated.
The ongoing process of delimitation and reconstitution of wards is expected to be completed by May, paving the way for the elections.
Rajasthan has 13 municipal corporations, 52 municipal councils, and around 240 municipal committees that will participate in the simultaneous polls later this year.
