Bihar has witnessed an unprecedented 66.91% voter turnout in recent elections, marking a 9.62 percentage point increase from 2020. While exit polls predict an NDA victory, historical data reveals that Bihar has experienced government changes three times when voter turnout increased by more than five percentage points. This pattern, coupled with higher female voter participation at 71.6% compared to men's 62.8%, introduces an intriguing dynamic that could challenge predicted outcomes despite favorable forecasts for the ruling alliance.
