Anyone using derogatory or abusive words against female candidates or voters will face immediate action. The Commission has warned that it will take suo motu action against offenders. District Magistrates and the Election Commission have also been asked to enforce these rules strictly.

Women have been urged to report cases where abusive language against women in Bihar elections is used. Contact details of Commission members are available on their website for quick reporting.

A new program, Women’s Commission for Your Institution, will also be launched in colleges and government offices. This program will allow female students to share concerns and report election-related harassment.

The guidelines clearly state: no comments on a woman’s personal life, religion, caste, community, education, or family. The goal is to ensure dignity and fair participation of women in politics.

Sector magistrates will be deployed nearly a week before polling. Each will manage 10–12 booths along with a sector police officer. With over 90,000 polling stations in Bihar, about 9,000 sector officers will coordinate arrangements. Their role is crucial in addressing weak polling zones and areas affected by strongmen influence.

Sensitive areas ahead of Bihar elections will also receive special attention to improve voter confidence. Sector officers will ensure facilities for women, elderly, and differently-abled voters, making participation easier. Flying squads will monitor vulnerable locations, and any irregularities will be reported to district officials immediately.

By focusing on these sensitive areas ahead of Bihar elections, the Election Commission aims to raise voter turnout and ensure secure polling. This proactive strategy shows a commitment to fairness and transparency in the democratic process.
