Bihar Election Result LIVE : Counting of Votes to Begin Shortly

Results of the 2025 Bihar Assembly Election are set to be announced on Friday, 14 November 2025. The 243-seat election has been one of the most intense and closely viewed contests in recent years. It saw the highest ever voter turnout in the state’s history, experienced unprecedented female participation, and followed the controversial Special Intensive Revision exercise.

Polling spanned two phases – one on 6 November and the second on 11 November 2025 – with a total turnout of 66.91%. This election has been underscored by meticulous preparation and coverage undertaken by the ECI, such as 100% webcasting across stations, enhanced security deployments in vulnerable districts, and selfie points outside booths.

The election saw 7.4 crore voters choosing between 2,616 candidates. The main contenders this election have been the NDA – led by BJP and JD(U) – and the Mahagathbandhan (MGB) – led by RJD and INC. The newcomer Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), founded by political strategist Prashant Kishor, also made a splashy entry, contesting independently across all seats.
