Bihar Election 2025: The dates of Bihar assembly elections will be announced today. The election schedule will be released by the Chief Election Commissioner at 4 pm and with this, the code of conduct will also be implemented in the state. In such a situation, the eyes of all political parties are on the election dates. The commission has already made it clear that the elections will end before 22 November 2025 as the tenure of the current assembly is ending on this day.
In the Bihar assembly elections, there can be a direct contest between many veterans, but do you know that even a common man can contest elections. The Constitution of India empowers every citizen to contest elections, however, some conditions have to be fulfilled for this. Come, let us know how much fees are spent to contest Bihar assembly elections and how to nominate.
How much fees are there to contest Bihar assembly elections?
Very few people know that fees have to be paid to contest elections, which is called security deposit. These fees have to be deposited at the time of filing nomination. If the candidate is from the general category, then he has to give 10,000. At the same time, if the candidate comes from the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes, then he has to pay 5,000 fees. This rule has been implemented under the Representation of the Public Representation Act of 1951. If the candidate gets very few votes in the election, then this security fee is confiscated. However, if the candidate gets full votes, then this fee can also be returned.
How can you also enroll
When the official announcement of the election is made, then the process of filing nomination begins. Under this, the candidate has to fill a nomination form. It is necessary to give name, address, date of birth, education information, property and if there is a criminal case, then it is necessary to give information about it. On the other hand, if you are contesting from a party, then only a proposer is needed. If you are an independent candidate, then you need at least 10 proposals, which should be voters of the same assembly constituency. After the nomination form is filed, the returning officer examines all his documents. If all the information is correct, the nomination is accepted.
