Seat change
Against Rajasthan's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained70 (38%)
- Changed hands89 (48%)
- New seat25 (14%)
70 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 89 changed hands. 25 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
