More than 74 per cent of the electorate in Rajasthan voted November 25 in a bipolar contest involving the Congress and the BJP to elect a new government, with polling passing off peacefully barring a few stray incidents of violence.
The tentative voter turnout was 74.96 per cent till the last report came in at 6 pm, an election commission official said.
Earlier, Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Gupta said the final voting figures will be issued once data is compiled.
After casting his vote, Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister and PC chief Sachin Pilot told ANI, “People have taken the decision and sealed the future of Rajasthan in the boxes (EVMs). I am hopeful that Congress will get a majority on December 3, when the counting will be done. I even want to thank our opposition for putting forward their views. The elections have concluded very well. Everyone will wait for December 3 now and I hope Congress will form its government in Rajasthan…If we cross the majority mark, Congress MLAs and the high command will decide on what role will be given to whom…”
