Even before the results are declared, the BJP has shifted its candidates in a hotel near Jaipur. Party sources said before mayor elections, it might also shift the councillors to Gujarat. A BJP office bearer said, “This time BJP cannot take risk as in the last time it lost the mayor post despite having the majority of councillors in the board. As the margin in formation of the board will be lesser, the party cannot risk.”

Counting of one ward at a time will be done in the counting hall. The counting for the next ward will start only after the counting of one ward is complete and result is determined. At the time of counting, the candidate of the ward or his polling agent will be given admission. The elected councillors will vote for the mayor on November 10.
