What new feature will be introduced in Bihar’s Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for the upcoming Assembly elections?
Colour photos of candidatesFor the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India announced that EVMs will display colour photographs of candidates along with a larger font for better readability.

Bihar will be the first state in India to implement this change, which may later be rolled out nationwide. Additional voter-friendly measures include limiting booth electorates to 1,200 and introducing mobile deposit facilities at polling stations. These reforms were detailed by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during a press conference in Patna, as reported on 06/10/2025.

The case exposed serious lapses in protocol and possible corruption within the police force.
