The Election Commission of India (ECI) has conducted the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 in a peaceful and successful manner. This time, 67.13 percent voting took place in the state, which is the highest turnout since 1951. Now the Commission has completed all preparations for the counting of votes to be held on 14 November 2025.
All candidates and parties expressed satisfaction
According to the Election Commission, this time there was no need for repolling in any assembly constituency. Of the total 2,616 candidates, none sought re-polling and 12 recognized political parties also did not lodge any complaint or objection. This is considered to be one of the most transparent elections ever.
zero appeal for the first time
More than 7 crore 45 lakh voters were included in the final voter list of Bihar. Despite this, no party from any district filed any complaint or appeal. Zero appeals were registered in a total of 38 districts, proving that this time’s elections were completely peaceful and fair.
Strict security and management for counting of votes across the state
Arrangements for counting of votes have been made in all 243 assembly constituencies of Bihar. One Returning Officer (RO) and one counting observer have been deployed for each area. A total of 4,372 tables have been set up for counting of votes and each table will have a counting supervisor, an assistant and a micro observer. More than 18,000 agents will also be present on behalf of the candidates during the counting of votes, so that the entire process remains transparent.
Three-tier security system implemented
The Election Commission has made impenetrable security arrangements at the counting centres. Every district is being monitored 24 hours by CCTV. Three layers of security have been created – CAPF, CISF and CRPF are deployed in the first layer; Bihar Special Armed Police (BSAP) is handling the responsibility in the second layer; Whereas District Armed Police (DAP) is deployed in the third layer. Apart from this, ASP/DSP and Magistrate level officers are continuously monitoring so that the counting of votes remains completely peaceful and transparent.
Counting of votes will start at 8 am, counting of postal ballots first
Counting of votes will start at 8 am on November 14. Postal ballots will be counted first, after which counting of electronic voting machines (EVMs) will start from 8:30 am. Counting of postal ballots will be done in the presence of candidates or their representatives, and the process will be completed before the final round of EVM counting.
VVPAT matching process for transparency
During counting of EVMs each control unit will be shown to the concerned agents to ensure that the seals are secure and the serial numbers match the records. If any discrepancy is found in the number of votes in any polling station, the VVPAT slips there will be compulsorily counted. After completion of counting, five polling stations will be randomly selected in each assembly constituency and their VVPAT slips will be matched with the EVM results.
Results will be released on the official website
The Election Commission said that the election results will be released round-wise and assembly-wise on the official website of ECI. Voters and media representatives will be able to view accurate and certified results by visiting https://results.eci.gov.in. The Commission has also appealed that people should not trust any unofficial or unconfirmed source and get information only from the official portal.
