A bogus voter was also caught red-handed in Rajasthan College.
The low voter turnout became a cause of concern for the candidates. Their supporters pleaded before the students to show up at the polling stations to cast their votes.
The voting in constituent colleges Maharani College, Maharaja College, Rajasthan College and Commerce College also came to an end at 1 pm.
The Rajasthan University Administration set up 91 polling stations for voting. Of them, 25 were on the university campus, while 67 polling stations were in the constituent colleges.
The voting percentage in the university hovers around about 50%, but it is expected to be even lower this time. Many students didn’t collect their ID Cards that were mandatory to cast votes at the polling stations. Only those voters who were carrying their ID cards were allowed entry.
