The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar aims to retain power under the leadership of JDU veteran Nitish Kumar, while the Tejashwi Yadav-led Mahagathbandhan is vying to form the state government after a decade. Adding complexity to the race, the entry of poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party has made the contest a three-way battle.

The ECI introduced EVM (Electronic Voting Machine) after 1998. It’s an electronic device that is used for recording votes without the use of paper. EVMs run on normal batteries, and they do not require electricity. If an EVM suddenly stops working for some reason, it can be replaced with a new one.

Recorded votes are totally safe as EVMs can store results in their memory until a polling officer deletes data. Electronic voting machines have been used in all general and state assembly elections in India since 2014.

The ballot box election is the form of voting which takes place directly at the polling booth, as per the Election Commission of India (ECI). The Election officers, who are volunteers, verify every citizen's right to vote by comparing their personal ID with the data listed on the electoral roll. If a person has the right to vote, then only they receive the election documents and the Ballot Paper (A piece of paper that is used for secret voting).

Afterwards, the voter puts their completed ballot into a ballot box. The ballot box must be locked and sealed until counting begins so as to ensure that the ballot papers cannot be manipulated.

Elaborate security arrangements have been made for today's counting of votes polled in the Bihar assembly elections, across 46 centres in 38 districts of the state. Schools in Patna will remain closed today in view of the counting. A total of 7.45 crore voters were eligible to decide the electoral fate of 2,616 candidates.

"Counting arrangements have been made in all the 243 assembly constituencies. The exercise will be conducted by 243 Returning Officers in the presence of 243 Counting Observers and the candidates or their agents," an official said.

Hello and welcome to The Daily Jagran’s live coverage of the Bihar Election Results 2025. The counting will begin at 8 am with the ballots counted first, followed by EVM votes. Stay tuned to catch all the Live Updates here.
