This time there has been heavy voting in the Bihar Assembly elections (2025). The figures that have come out after both the phases have shown that women have voted more than men. This is also believed to be one of the reasons behind the increase in vote percentage.

The Election Commission gave this information. According to the data received from the Commission, 66.91 percent voting took place on a total of 243 seats in the state, in which 62.8 percent men and 71.6 percent women exercised their franchise.
