Bihar, polling is underway for the First Phase of State Assembly Elections amidst tight security arrangements in 71 constituencies spread over 16 districts. Chief Electoral Officer H.R. Srinivasa said, people are coming to cast their votes with enthusiasm. He expressed hope that polling percentage will be more this time as compared to that in the last elections. PM Narendra Modi has urged voters to exercise their franchise in the First Phase.
Thermal screening of all persons is being carried out and sanitizers have been made available at all locations during polling. Only 1,000 voters will exercise their franchise at each booth, instead of 1,500. Central Para-Military Forces have been deployed in Naxal-infested areas to ensure free and fair polling.
Elections are being held in three phases for the 243-member Bihar Assembly polls. Apart from the 71 seats that are going to polls today, 94 seats will go to polls in the Second Phase on November 03, and 78 seats in the Third Phase on 7th of November. Counting of votes will be taken up on 10th of November.
