However, officials will change the reservation roster before the Bihar Panchayat Elections. The present roster has been in use for nearly ten years. Because of this, the government plans to rotate the reserved seats as per the rules.

The minister also spoke about future delimitation. He said the government will start that process after the national census. After the census, authorities will redraw Lok Sabha and Bihar Legislative Assembly constituencies seats first. Panchayat boundaries will change after that.

He also reviewed development work in Kaimur district. The minister said many solar lights have already been installed in villages. More rural projects will begin soon.

Panchayati Raj Minister said the government is open to the idea. He added that officials will move ahead only if political parties and the public support the proposal.

At present, Bihar conducts panchayat elections without party symbols. Candidates fight as individuals, not as party representatives.

If the government approves the change, local elections could become more party-driven. The current panchayat term ends in December 2026, and the next elections are likely before that. No final decision has been announced yet.

Panchayati Raj Minister Deepak Prakash said the government wants to make elections clean and transparent. He explained that CCTV cameras will be installed at polling booths to closely monitor voters. These cameras will help officials detect people who try to vote more than once or use fake identities.

The minister added that facial recognition technology may also assist polling staff during voting. If any suspicious activity is noticed, officials can take immediate action at the booth itself. This step aims to reduce complaints related to bogus voting.

Apart from voting, authorities will also strengthen monitoring during vote counting. Cameras and digital tools will oversee the counting process to prevent manipulation and human error. The government believes this will improve public trust in election results.

Officials confirmed that preparations for the panchayat elections are moving quickly. New reservation rules and updated election guidelines will also be followed. With the use of technology and tighter checks, the state hopes to conduct smooth, fair, and credible elections.
