    1, 2 and 3 only

  3. (C)

    2, 3 and 4 only

  4. (D)

Explanation

All four statements are correct. The official Rajasthan SIR 2026 final electors summary is dated 21 February 2026. It covers 199 Assembly constituencies, excluding Anta, with 5,15,19,929 final electors, approximately 5.15 crore. The gender ratio after the revision was 911 females per 1,000 male voters, improving from 909, with notable gains in Jaipur and Kota. Voters aged 18-19 rose by more than 4.35 lakh, with Jaipur registering the highest rise. Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, covers preparation and revision of electoral rolls, including special revision, so statement 4 is also right.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Option A omits statements 3 and 4, although the 18-19 voter increase and the statutory basis under Section 21 are both part of the correct set.
  • (B) Option B leaves out statement 4, but SIR is tied to Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, read with the electoral-roll rules.
  • (C) Option C leaves out statement 1, even though the final roll covers 199 Assembly constituencies, excluding Anta, and about 5.15 crore voters.

Concept

This tests electoral-roll revision under Rajasthan polity, especially how statutory procedure and current voter-list data are read together. RAS often asks such questions because election administration links constitutional governance, state-level institutions and current official data.
