This time in Rajasthan, the government had decided to restructure the panchayats. Due to this, there have been 11 thousand 142 gram panchayats in Rajasthan, whereas last time elections were held for 9872 panchayats. This time some delay was done by the state government regarding the reorganization of panchayats and later this reorganization also faced challenges in the court. About 85 petitions were filed in the court. By its order, the government rejected some notifications issued by the government for restructuring the panchayat. Due to this, there were 2 categories of gram panchayats in the state. One is those who are not affected by the order of the court. Among these, the format of the voter list has been published, while the other are those who are affected by the order of the court. The format of their voter lists is yet to be published. Now the Election Commission is currently conducting elections for those 9171 panchayats, which are not affected by the court order.
