Bihar has achieved a national first by ensuring that no polling station in the state has more than 1,200 voters. This follows the Special Intensive Revision order dated June 24, 2025, which reduced the permissible voter cap per polling station from 1,500 to 1,200. To implement this, the state has added 12,817 new polling stations, increasing the total from 77,895 to 90,712. This move aims to ease voter congestion and serve as a model for other states and union territories.
