[1] This was the final election for the Ajmer Legislative Assembly: on 1 November 1956, under the provisions of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, the Ajmer State was abolished and its constituencies were merged into Rajasthan.

[2] The Ajmer Legislative Assembly consisted of 30 seats distributed in six two-member constituencies; Ajmer-I (South West), Ajmer-II (East), Jethana, Nasirabad, Kekri and Masuda and eighteen single-member constituencies.

Maximum number of candidates were 13 from Ajmer-I (South West) and Ajmer-II (East), while Bhinai had only 2 contestants, minimum of all the constituencies.

[3][4] In the original election, the Bhinai seat had been won by Kalyan Singh of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, who defeated the Indian National Congress candidate Madan Singh with 3,164 votes (51.58%) against 2,970 (48.42%).

[5] However, the election in Bhinai was declared void as nomination papers had been improperly rejected and a by-election was called.
