More than 68% of the electorate in Rajasthan exercised their voting rights across 199 assembly constituencies by 5pm during Saturday’s polling, which was mostly peaceful, with only sporadic incidents of violence resulting in the arrest of 77 people. The total turnout, including postal ballots, is slightly above 69%, according to the state’s chief electoral officer (CEO) Praveen Gupta. “Polling was on at many polling stations even after 6pm. We hope the voting percentage will cross last election’s figure,” he said. The 2018 turnout was above 74%.
