Bihar Sees Record Voter Turnout of 67.14% in Final Phase
Bihar made electoral history as the state recorded its highest-ever voter turnout at 67.14% during the final phase of polling. The figure marks a significant rise from previous elections, signaling an active democratic engagement across the state.
Election officials credited the strong turnout to improved voter awareness campaigns, increased participation among women voters, and enhanced security measures across polling booths.
The final phase saw large turnouts in districts such as Gaya, Nalanda, Patna, and Rohtas, with rural regions leading the participation wave. Analysts suggest that this surge could indicate a desire for change or confidence in the ruling alliance’s performance.
Exit Polls Predict NDA Victory
As polling concluded, exit polls suggested a decisive victory for the NDA (National Democratic Alliance). Most political analysts predict that the BJP-JD(U) alliance will retain a strong lead, attributing the edge to welfare schemes, infrastructure projects, and the government's handling of rural employment and social welfare initiatives.
The opposition alliance, led by the RJD and Congress, is expected to improve its tally in certain constituencies but may fall short of the majority mark.
Women and Youth Drive the Turnout
Election data shows a notable increase in participation from women voters, who turned out in record numbers across several districts. This segment is believed to have played a pivotal role in shaping the outcome, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.
Younger voters, aged 18–25, also showed greater enthusiasm this time, driven by debates over job creation, digital governance, and educational opportunities.
Political Analysts React
Experts highlight that a high voter turnout in Bihar often correlates with a shift in political momentum. Political commentator Dr. R.K. Prasad noted,
“A turnout above 65% in Bihar is rare and usually signifies a silent wave. This could either strengthen the incumbent or surprise everyone with a mandate for change.”
