The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the dates for the Bihar Assembly elections, which will be conducted in two phases - the first phase on November 6 and the second on November 11. The counting of votes will take place on November 14.
The last date for making nominations for the first phase will be October 17, whereas nominations for the second phase should be made by October 20. Names can be added to the voter list before the last date for nomination.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar informed that there is a total of 243 assembly seats in Bihar. The total number of electors is 7.43 crore, including around 14 lakh first-time voters and 14,000 voters who are above 100 years old. The current term is scheduled to end on November 22.
CEC Gyanesh Kumar, along with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, held a series of meetings in Patna over the weekend to assess security arrangements, logistics, and enforcement preparedness with top state officials to ensure free, fair and inducement-free elections.
Meanwhile, the seat-sharing for both INDIA and NDA alliances are expected to be announced later this week. RJD's Tejaswhi Yadav stated that the INDA bloc's formula is in its final stages and will be announced soon.
