The Bihar Election 2025 silence period starts at 5 PM today, marking the end of all campaign activities. As the loudspeakers fall silent and banners come down, voters will get 48 hours of peace before casting their votes on November 6. The Bihar Election 2025 silence period ensures that citizens can decide freely without any influence or pressure.
Under Section 126 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, all campaigning, speeches, and promotional messages are banned during this time. Anyone found violating these rules may face jail, a fine, or both. Authorities in Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, and Bhagalpur have already begun strict checks on loudspeakers and rallies.
The Election Commission has also tightened control over social and print media. No TV shows, social posts, or newspaper ads can promote any candidate without prior approval. Even outsiders and party workers from other districts must leave the poll areas to maintain fairness.
This silence period reminds everyone that in democracy, the most powerful voice is the voter’s own.
