The bypolls in Rajasthan drew significant attention as over 64% of the electorate cast their votes across seven assembly seats. Election officials confirmed a largely peaceful process, barring an incident at Deoli-Uniara.

Independent candidate Naresh Meena allegedly slapped an area magistrate in a confrontation related to voter boycotts. Law enforcement assured legal measures.

These elections, necessitated by legislative casualties and parliamentary gains, offer a vital political gauge for Rajasthan's powerhouses following BJP's Lok Sabha setbacks.
