Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Landmark Poll Sees No Violence or Repolling
New Delhi, November 14, 2025 – The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections have concluded with a historic outcome: zero deaths on voting days and no repolling ordered in any constituency. This marks a significant departure from past elections in the state, which were often marred by violence, deaths, and widespread electoral irregularities.
Historical data reveals a stark contrast, with previous elections witnessing numerous deaths and repolling in hundreds of booths. For example, the 1985 elections saw 63 deaths and repolling in 156 booths, while the 2005 elections saw repolling in 660 booths.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has hailed the peaceful and fair election as a testament to improved law and order in the state. They attribute their mandate to the strong rural support base and a “vote for dignity and self-respect” from the people of Bihar. Counting of votes for the two-phase Assembly polls is currently underway.
Bihar, India’s third most populous state with a significant rural population, plays a crucial role in shaping national politics. The absence of violence and repolling in the 2025 elections signals a positive step forward for the state’s democratic process.
