The Election Commission of India on Saturday announced the completion of the final electoral roll for Rajasthan, concluding the Special Intensive Revision process that covered 199 out of the state's 200 assembly constituencies. The Anta constituency in Baran district remains excluded, with its final roll scheduled for publication on March 12.
