The Election Commission of India's final electoral roll for Bihar reveals a significant gender disparity in voter deletions, with women voters experiencing a 6.1% decline (22.7 lakh) compared to men's 3.8% (15.5 lakh). This reduction, concentrated in border districts like Gopalganj and Madhubani, could significantly impact upcoming elections given the previous contest's narrow margin of just 11,150 votes between major alliances.
