The Election Commission of India announced on Monday that the Bihar Assembly elections will occur in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results to be declared on November 14. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar characterized the Bihar elections as the mother of all elections, while assuring voters of exemplary and peaceful polling with special attention to law and order.
The 2025 Assembly elections mark the first to be held in the eastern state after electoral roll purification through a Special Intensive Revision, which produced a final voters' list with 7.43 crore electors. Kumar detailed plans to combat fake news on social media at the district level, while announcing that each of the 243 constituencies will have its own observer.
The current 243-member Bihar Assembly term ends on November 22, requiring elections before that date. The schedule avoids major festivals like Diwali and Chhath, which fall between October 18 and 28, to ensure smooth polling and maximum voter turnout.
