Millions of people in Bihar are all set to cast their vote in the 2025 Assembly Elections. One of the biggest worries for a lot of voters is making sure they know where to vote. To prevent any confusion for voters during the polling day, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has made it rather simple for citizens to look up their respective polling booth details through their Voter ID.
A Digital Step Toward Transparency
At a time when digital access is revolutionizing governance, ECI’s voter information services are enabling citizens to establish details of their voting with just a few clicks. Every voter of Bihar can now find their polling station, without having to visit a government office, by using the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP) or the Voter Helpline mobile app.
