Bihar Leads Electoral Reform with Reduced Electors per Polling Station

Bihar has set a precedent by becoming the first Indian state to cap the number of electors per polling station at under 1,200, according to the Election Commission. This move aims to reduce voter queues, and 12,817 new polling stations have been implemented to achieve this goal.

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.
