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.
