Gram Panchayat Elections – Scope and Voter Turnout
Out of the total elections:
- 4,688 are regular Gram Panchayat elections
- 3,638 are by-elections
An estimated 1.3 crore registered voters will cast their votes using traditional ballot boxes, as Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) will not be used. Over 16,500 polling booths will be set up with proper security arrangements.
Background – Reservation Policy and Legal Challenges
These elections were delayed earlier due to legal challenges involving OBC reservation in local body elections. The Gujarat government proposed increasing OBC reservation from 10% to 27%, which led to the creation of the Zaveri Commission and legal reforms. With these issues resolved, the election process is now proceeding smoothly.
Election Conduct & Voter Awareness
With the Model Code of Conduct now in force, candidates and political parties are expected to follow strict guidelines. Voter awareness campaigns will also focus on:
- Digital voter ID card download
- Online correction of voter details
- Free government services for rural development
