For the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, the Election Commission has planned 90,712 polling booths in 38 districts. This is an increase of 12,817 booths compared to the last polls. The goal is to make voting smoother and more accessible.
Each booth will now serve fewer than 1,200 voters. The earlier limit of 1,500 has been reduced to avoid crowding. This step ensures better convenience for voters.
Patna tops the list with 5,665 polling stations across 14 constituencies. Muzaffarpur follows with 4,186 booths, East Champaran with 4,095, and Madhubani with 3,882. Gaya has 3,866, while Samastipur and Darbhanga account for 3,623 and 3,329 booths. Smaller districts like Sheohar (368), Sheikhpura (582), and Arwal (651) have the least numbers.
The last election had 77,895 booths. This time, the count has gone up to 90,712. Webcasting will cover every polling station, and cameras will link to district and state offices. These measures are designed to deliver safe, transparent, and efficient elections across Bihar.
