Exit polls suggest that the BJP may not achieve a clean sweep in Rajasthan's parliamentary elections, unlike in 2014 and 2019. This time, predictions indicate that five to seven seats might be won by the opposition INDIA bloc. The final results will be known on Tuesday, following the vote counting process.

Voting for the 25 parliamentary constituencies in Rajasthan occurred in two phases, on April 19 and 26. Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Gupta stated that votes will be counted at 29 designated centers under strict security. Postal ballots will be counted first, followed by votes from the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra expressed confidence in winning 12 to 13 seats, including Bharatpur, the hometown of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. In contrast, Sharma maintained the BJP's stance, asserting his party will win all 25 seats.
The results will also determine the political future of prominent leaders such as Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Kailash Chaudhary.
