Social media users are sharing posts in Hindi, claiming that the Election Commission of India has announced polling dates for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
What does it say?: The message claims that polling in Bihar will be conducted in six phases, from 21 October to 20 November 2025.
It adds that the results for the state's assembly elections will be announced in 24 November.
How do we know?: To start with, we ran a keyword search using the term 'Bihar elections 2025 dates', but did not come across any credible report or press release listing the dates for the polls.
However, we came across a 2010 news report by Mint which mentioned the same polling dates for the 2010 Bihar Assembly elections.
Next, we went through the website, X account, and Facebook page of the Chief Electoral Officer, Bihar, but did not find any announcements of polling dates for the upcoming Assembly elections.
When we reached out to Kapil Sharma, sub election officer at CEO Bihar's office, he refuted the claim and shared their official denial of the viral post.
Conclusion: Posts claiming to carry the list of polling dates for the Bihar elections are fake.
