The Commission said this process will start on June 25. It added that a draft electoral roll will be published on August 1, and the final roll will be published on September 30.
‘Elections may be announced in October’
This timeline indicates that the Bihar assembly elections schedule can be announced in the first week of October. The Bihar Assembly elections will take place in November as the term of the 243-member Bihar
Assembly term ends on November 22.
If sources are to be believed, the election schedule is usually announced within a week of the final publication of the voter list.
