Bihar Election 2025: An announcement of Bihar assembly election dates. On Monday, October 6, Chief Election Commissioner Dnyanesh Kumar announced the dates of Bihar election. Bihar assembly elections of 2025 will be held in two phases. Voting dates in Bihar are 6 and 11 November. The results will be declared on 14 November.
1.4 million voters will vote for the first time
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar told in a press conference on Monday that the final voter list was published on 30 September. An appeal can be made to the District Magistrate for any error. Also, if a name is missed, it can be added until 10 days before the enrollment. After that, no other name can be added. This time 14 lakh new voters will vote for the first time in Bihar. The Election Commission has said that Bihar has about 7.43 crore voters.
Elections will be held after Chhath
The Election Commission has to complete the Bihar election process by 22 November 2025. All parties had earlier requested the Election Commission to hold elections after the Chhath festival. Talking about the last assembly election, in 2020, Bihar was voted in three phases. Voting was held from 20 October to 7 November. The results were declared on 10 November. Earlier in 2015, voting was held in five stages. Voting was held from 12 October to 5 November. The election results were declared on 8 November.
It is noteworthy that before the election, the Election Commission released the final list of special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar on 30 September. The number of voters in Bihar has come down by 6% to 74.1 million. 69.29 lakh names have been removed from the final list and 21.53 lakh new names have been added.
More than 100 small and big parties will enter the field in Bihar elections, but there will be a tough competition between them. However, the main contest is expected to remain between the NDA and the Grand Alliance. In the 2025 election, the NDA has clearly stated that the assembly elections will be fought under the leadership and leadership of Nitish Kumar. However, the Chief Ministerial candidate of the Grand Alliance is not yet clear. RJD is presenting Tejashwi Yadav as the face of the post of Chief Minister of the Grand Alliance. Meanwhile, Jansuraj chief Prashant Kishore will also be in the electoral fray this time.
