Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 Full Schedule: Phase-Wise Poll Dates, Voting Time, Result Day & Key Details Announced

The Elections Commission of India (ECI) revealed on November 6 that the election timetable for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 was made public. It is expected to be a very stiff political contest. The election will happen in two parts, one on November 6 and the other on November 11, when the state will choose the delegates for all the 243 Assembly constituencies.

The current Assembly will be active until November 22, 2025. The Commission has gone for a two-phase election process instead of the three phased polling in 2020 due to the patronage of the festival season.
