Introduction
The second and final phase of the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly election is underway, covering 122 constituencies across 20 districts in Bihar. According to the latest data, the voter turnout has already touched 47.62% by approximately 1:00 PM, signalling a strong participation rate in this crucial round.
The election is being closely watched as a barometer of public mood and could reshape the state’s political dynamics.
Key Details & Turnout Snapshot
Voting commenced at 7 AM and will continue until 5 PM in the concerned constituencies.
The second phase covers constituencies in regions such as Seemanchal, Koshi belt, Magadh and western Bihar.
Nearly 3.7 crore voters are eligible to cast their votes in Phase 2, making it a large-scale engagement exercise.
By 1:00 PM the turnout figure of 47.62% suggests the state is nearing the half-mark for the day, indicating robust participation.
The first phase recorded a record turnout of 64.66%, setting a high benchmark
What This Means Politically
With such participation levels, several implications emerge:
A higher turnout often suggests greater public mobilisation, which could favour either the ruling bloc or opposition depending on regional dynamics.
Given the first phase’s high turnout, Phase 2 becomes even more significant for both alliances – the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition Mahagathbandhan – in their bid to claim majority.
Voting in border districts and areas with varying socio-economic profiles makes this phase a litmus test for regional sentiments and voter behaviour.
Security & Logistics
Election authorities have ramped up infrastructure and security measures:
Web-casting at all booths and monitoring of polling booths to ensure transparency.
Deployment of central forces and local personnel in sensitive districts to avoid malpractice and ensure smooth polling.
Continuous live updates from key constituencies to track turnout, disruptions and special incidents.
