It further said, however, so far, “only the General Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation and CPI(M) have given their confirmation in this regard”.

“Therefore, the Commission is meeting the General Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation along with the authorised persons from the two parties at 05:00 PM today”.

Noting that the Commission has not yet received any confirmation from the heads of other Political Parties mentioned in the communication to the poll panel on June 30, 2025, the officials asserted that the panel “is always available to meet heads of Political Parties or their authorised representative(s), either individually or collectively at any time of mutual convenience”.

Nearly one Lakh trained Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and one Lakh volunteers are being engaged by 243 Electoral Registration Officers, 38 District Election Officers, 9 Divisional Commissioners and the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar, the officials said.

In addition, National and State Political Parties registered and recognised by ECI have also engaged more than 1.5 Lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) for each Polling Station, they said, adding that still there is time and “they should appoint more BLAs now rather than complaining later”.
