In Rajasthan, by-elections see moderate voter turnout, marred by a candidate assaulting an official.

In Rajasthan, by-elections for seven assembly seats saw a voter turnout of 39.35% by 1 pm on November 13. The highest turnout was in Ramgarh at 45.4%. An incident occurred in Deoli-Uniara where an independent candidate, Naresh Meena, allegedly slapped a sub-divisional magistrate. The by-elections were triggered by the election of five MLAs as MPs and the passing of two MLAs. Both BJP and Congress have campaigned vigorously, each fielding 40 star campaigners. Notably, a newly-wed woman named Khushi cast her vote in Dausa, emphasizing the importance of participating in the democratic process.
