Bihar Election Dates 2025: Voting on November 6 and 11, Results on November 14
The Bihar Assembly elections for 2025 will take place in two phases. Voters will cast their ballots on November 6 and November 11. The Election Commission of India has scheduled the results announcement for November 14, 2025. The elections cover all 243 assembly constituencies across Bihar and will decide the state’s political future.
Two-Phase November Voting Schedule in Bihar
The Election Commission arranged the polling in two phases to improve logistics and security. The first phase on November 6 will cover constituencies mainly in central and northern Bihar. In contrast, the second phase on November 11 will focus on border districts adjoining Nepal, including important regions like Purnea, Darbhanga, and Madhubani. Voters in these areas will participate on separate days to ease administration.
Additionally, election authorities will hold bypolls for eight assembly seats on November 11, alongside the second phase of the main elections. This phased approach will help manage voter turnout efficiently and maintain law and order during the polling.
Measures to Ensure Fair Elections
To guarantee transparency and smooth polling, the Election Commission introduced strict measures. They limited the number of voters per polling station to 1,200. Also, they deployed 100% webcasting at polling booths for real-time monitoring. The Commission upgraded Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) to display clearer candidate photographs and bold serial numbers, making voter identification easier.
Polling staff will check voters’ identity cards at the booths. To avoid digital interference, voters must deposit mobile phones outside polling stations. The Commission set zero tolerance for violence or voter intimidation to ensure voters can cast their ballots freely.
Voter List Revision and Security
The Election Commission conducted a special revision of the voter list for the first time in 22 years. This revision aims to remove ineligible names and ensure only eligible voters participate in the election. Citizens can still report any discrepancies before the final voter list is published after nomination filing. This step promotes electoral integrity.
Political Stakes
The 2025 Bihar election is a crucial battle between major political alliances. The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Nitish Kumar, faces strong competition from the opposition Mahagathbandhan alliance led by Tejashwi Yadav. The election results will determine the direction of Bihar’s governance after the current assembly completes its term on November 22.
Conclusion: Bihar Election Updates on November 2025
Bihar’s assembly elections will unfold on November 6 and 11, 2025, with results declared on November 14. The Election Commission’s careful planning and new security measures aim to conduct free and fair polls across the state. As Bihar prepares to decide its next government, voters and political parties await these crucial dates with great anticipation.
