Bihar has become the first Indian state to ensure that all polling stations have fewer than 1,200 electors. This move is aimed at reducing overcrowding and improving voter convenience during elections. The Election Commission of India (ECI) added 12,817 new polling stations in Bihar. The total number of polling stations has increased from 77,895 to 90,712. This follows the State Instructional Representation (SIR) order issued on June 24, 2025. The SIR order revised the voter limit per polling station from 1,500 to 1,200. This model may serve as a guideline for other states and Union Territories.
