The Bihar Assembly elections are expected to begin soon after the Chhath festival. The Election Commission is planning to hold the elections in three phases, with the first phase starting right after the festival. This will allow for enough time for all preparations to be completed.
This year, EVMs will feature colored photographs of candidates to help voters identify them easily. The ‘NOTA’ option will also be displayed, and international Indian numbering will be used for better clarity. These changes aim to make voting easier and more transparent.
In 2020, the elections were held in three phases, with voting on October 28, November 3, and November 7. This year, a similar approach is being followed. Voting is expected to take place after finalizing the voter lists by December 30.
Despite concerns over voter deletions and suppression, the Election Commission is committed to ensuring a free and fair election. Preparations are in full swing for a smooth election process.
