Seat change
Against Rajasthan's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1980), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained13 (7%)
- Changed hands184 (92%)
- New seat3 (2%)
13 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 184 changed hands. 3 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.
