The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the schedule for the upcoming Bihar Legislative Assembly elections. Voting will be conducted in two phases: November 6 and November 11, with the results to be declared on November 14. The term of the current 243-member assembly ends on November 22 .
The elections are expected to witness a fierce contest between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and the opposition Mahagathbandhan, spearheaded by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) .
To ensure a smooth and transparent election process, the ECI has implemented several measures:
Polling Stations: No polling station will have more than 1,200 voters.
Booth-Level Officers: Officers will carry identity cards for easier verification.
Mobile Phones: Voters will be required to deposit their mobile phones outside the booths.
Webcasting: 100% webcasting will be implemented at every polling station.
EVM Upgrades: Candidate photographs will be printed in colour, with the face occupying three-fourths of the photo space. Serial numbers will use international numerals in bold, 30-point font .
The ECI has also completed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, which began on June 24 and concluded on time, ensuring an updated and accurate voter list.
Political parties had urged the ECI to conduct polling immediately after the Chhath festival at the end of October to maximize voter turnout, as many migrant workers return home during this period.
