Bihar Assembly Elections: Final Phase Sees High Voter Turnout
People in Bihar have finished voting in the last part of their state elections.
This voting happened in 122 areas, and more people voted this time than ever before in this phase, with almost 67.14% of eligible voters casting their ballots.
Some areas close to Nepal, which have many Muslim residents, saw very high numbers of people voting.
Even though the Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, is not running himself, this election is a big test for his political party and the alliances he is part of.
The results of all the votes will be known on November 14th.
This election is important for deciding who will lead Bihar for the next few years.
