Patna, November 6, 2025 — Polling has commenced in 121 constituencies across 18 districts of Bihar today as part of the ongoing state assembly elections. Voters turned out early at booths amid tight security and logistical arrangements.
The Election Commission has deployed thousands of personnel to ensure smooth conduct of the polls, with electronic voting machines and voter-verifiable paper audit trails in place. Special provisions have been made for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
Key districts witnessing voting include Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, and Darbhanga, where several high-profile candidates are contesting. The voter turnout is expected to rise steadily through the day, with polling scheduled to conclude by evening.
Authorities have urged citizens to exercise their democratic right peacefully and follow all guidelines issued for safe and fair elections. Counting of votes will take place after the final phase concludes later this month.
This phase is considered crucial in determining the political landscape of Bihar, with major parties vying for dominance in both urban and rural segments.
