The date of Bihar assembly elections can be announced in the third week of September. According to Election Commission sources, election dates may be announced on 20 September. Although earlier it was believed that due to Corona, assembly elections could be postponed.
According to Sources, The assembly elections in Bihar can be held in two or three stages. Apart from this, the commission is considering to create a separate booth for Corona infected people. Earlier, the Chief Minister of the state Nitish Kumar had said in the program of the Department of Rural Affairs that the election dates will be announced in September. Accordingly to sources, the number of booths will be increased to 50 percent to avoid congestion. Last year, 72,000 booths were built across the state and this time more than one and a half lakh booths can be set up. Such arrangements will be made that a booth does not have more than 1,000 people.

The Election Commission will decide the place for the election meeting in advance and the Election Commission will also issue guidelines regarding this. Apart from this, separate booths will be prepared for the corona infected patients, in which the workers will come wearing PPE kit to vote. However, full support and arrangement will be made that the polling personnel cannot touch the EVM machine. Physical distance will be followed at the booth.
