The Bihar election schedule 2025 is expected to be announced today, bringing the state closer to its democratic festival. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar confirmed after his two-day visit to Patna that the announcement will happen soon, possibly after Monday afternoon. He urged the people of Bihar to participate in the elections with the same enthusiasm as they celebrate Chhath Puja.
The term of the 17th Bihar Assembly ends on November 22, and the polls will be completed before that. The Bihar election schedule 2025 press conference was conducted in Bhojpuri and Maithili. The CEC thanked voters and praised Bihar’s efficient SIR voter list correction, calling it an example for the entire nation.
He clarified that the Aadhaar card will be accepted only as an identity card, not as proof of citizenship. The Election Commission has also capped the number of voters per polling station at 1,200 to reduce waiting time. During his visit, Gyanesh Kumar held meetings with top officials, police officers, and political representatives to ensure fair and smooth elections across the state.
