Bihar Leads Electoral Reform with Reduced Electors per Polling Station

Bihar has become the frontrunner in electoral reform by capping the number of voters to under 1,200 per polling station, a move confirmed by the Election Commission on Monday.

This initiative seeks to diminish lengthy queues on election days, with the addition of 12,817 new polling stations throughout Bihar.

As a result, the total count of polling stations in the state will escalate from 77,895 to 90,712, with similar rationalization efforts set to be introduced nationwide.
