Polling for 199 out of Rajasthan's 200 seats was held today and saw over 69 per cent voter turnout. Voting at more than 51,000 polling booths in 199 assembly constituencies started at 7 am and concluded around 6 pm.
The elections were contested by 1,862 candidates.
The highest turnout was said to be in Jaisalmer district, followed by Hanumangarh and Dholpur districts.
Seven MPs, including Rajyavardhan Rathore, Diya Kumari, and Kirodi Lal Meena, have been fielded by the BJP for the Assembly elections.
Some of the MPs - all of whom were named in the first list - are contesting seats which could have otherwise gone to Vasundhara Raje loyalists.
The election in Sriganganagar's Karanpur seat was suspended because of the death of Congress candidate and incumbent MLA Gurmeet Singh Koonar.
