Hanumangarh. The district of Hanumangarh is set to conduct the fourth phase of the 2026 Panchayati Raj elections, with polling parties successfully reaching their assigned stations following final training sessions. Officials departed from the Government Polytechnic College in Hanumangarh Junction on Thursday, carrying electronic voting machines and essential election materials to ensure the process remains on schedule.
District Election Officer and Collector Dr. Khushal Yadav confirmed that the voting process covers four specific panchayat samitis, including Hanumangarh Town, Sangaria, Tibbi, and Rawatsar. The election will determine representatives for both the panchayat samiti member positions and the corresponding district council zones. By late afternoon, all teams had arrived at their respective locations to complete the necessary pre-polling preparations.
Voters are scheduled to cast their ballots on Saturday, November 14, starting from 7:00 am and continuing until 6:00 pm. To maintain order and ensure a smooth democratic exercise, the administration has deployed a significant security force across the region. District officials, including Superintendent of Police B. Aditya and Additional District Magistrate Ummedi Lal Meena, are overseeing the security arrangements to prevent any disruptions during the voting hours.
Following the conclusion of the member elections, the process will shift toward local governance at the village level. On Monday, November 16, residents in these same four panchayat samitis will head to the polls again to elect sarpanch and panch candidates. The subsequent day will see the election for the deputy sarpanch position, completing the multi-stage electoral cycle for these rural bodies.
The administration has urged all eligible voters to participate in the democratic process while adhering to the guidelines provided at the polling stations. With all logistical arrangements finalized and security personnel stationed, the district remains focused on conducting a peaceful and transparent election across all designated zones.
