The results of by-elections held for 243 assembly seats and 8 places in Bihar are being released today, Friday (14 November 2025). Counting of votes for 243 assembly seats of Bihar has started from 8 am. This time 66.9% voting was recorded across the state, which is the highest voting percentage since 1951. In such a situation, there is a question in the minds of people whether the voting on such a large scale has indicated that the people have made up their mind for change or have once again expressed confidence in the NDA government.
Today, counting centers have been prepared on a large scale to keep the environment safe and fair in the state for counting of votes. Special arrangements have been made in every district headquarters so that the counting process can be completed without any hindrance. This time the administration seems to be more cautious than ever regarding security and transparency. To ensure that there are no irregularities on the day of counting, the Election Commission has sent more than 70 counting observers to different districts of the state. These officials will monitor every counting activity and ensure that no step goes out of the rules.
Before the counting of votes, the EVMs and VVPAT machines were kept in the strong room, which was sealed in the presence of the candidates and their representatives. These rooms are monitored 24 hours by CCTV cameras and every activity happening inside and outside is recorded. Armed security forces are deployed all around, making the security of the strong room almost impenetrable. Instructions are also given that the process of opening the strong room will also be done in the presence of all the authorized representatives.
The counting of votes will start with postal ballot as usual. These include voting of government employees, security personnel on duty, senior citizens and disabled voters. Postal ballot envelopes are opened first and only after their counting is completed, they are moved towards the EVM.
