Demand list for 10 percent additional employees
In this order, the Commission has given instructions to prepare a list of 10 percent additional employees, so that they can be kept in reserve and can be used for this work if needed. This will be prepared through new software from the Election Commission. The Commission said that the voter list will be prepared as per the present situation.
However, the government is yet to do the work of demarcation of new wards, reorganization of old wards and reorganization of local bodies. Actually, there are more than 230 urban bodies in Rajasthan.
