Bihar Assembly polls: Viral post on voting discrepancies debunked

India Nov 21, 2025

There's been buzz online about supposed voting irregularities in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, with claims that more votes were cast than there were registered voters.
But the Election Commission of India (ECI) has set the record straight—there's no funny business here.

Here's what actually happened

The viral numbers mixed up a few things: the 7.45 crore figure is just the updated count of registered voters after routine additions, not actual votes cast.
Plus, when you include postal ballots (which are always part of official totals), everything lines up perfectly.
So, no mystery—just regular election math at work.
