Names of the advocates who do not practice regularly have been removed from the voter list as per the directions of the Supreme Court and the guidelines of the Bar Council of Rajasthan. But their membership in the Bar Association will remain intact. Due to the number of voters being less by about 500, all the candidates are vying to attract every single vote.
