Bihar First State With All Polling Stations Under 1,200 Electors

22 Jul 2025 CW Team

Bihar has become the first state in India to ensure all polling stations (PS) have fewer than 1,200 electors, following the addition of 12,817 new polling stations to reduce queue times on polling day.

According to the Bihar SIR order dated 24 June 2025, the previous ceiling of 1,500 electors per polling station was lowered to 1,200 electors. With these additions, the total number of polling stations in Bihar will rise to 90,712 from the earlier 77,895. This landmark achievement is expected to be emulated by other states and union territories.

Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs), District Electoral Officers (DEOs), Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), and Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have met representatives of all political parties and shared detailed lists of approximately 2.96 million electors whose forms are yet to be received, as well as nearly 4.39 million electors not found at their registered addresses. Twelve major political parties have been urged to engage with these electors through their district presidents and about 150,000 Booth Level Agents (BLAs). The aim is to ensure coordinated efforts across the election machinery and political parties to include every eligible voter in the draft Electoral Roll to be published on 1 August 2025.

From 1 August 2025, members of the public can file objections concerning additions, deletions, or corrections in the Draft Electoral Rolls, as outlined in the SIR order dated 24 June 2025.
