Changing Dynamics of Voting Behaviour in Bihar Legislative Assembly Election

This research paper elaborates on the issue with a particular emphasis on the examination of the Bihar State Assembly elections. It concentrates on the social groups' electoral pattern and voting behaviour in the Bihar election. It attempts to develop a particular voting system based on actual electoral data that favoured different political parties competing in the election. The challenges associated with mobilising the voters of Bihar have been rigorously analysed from historical and sociological viewpoints. To achieve this goal, the study examines the historical, cultural, religious, social, and other factors that influence the voting behaviour of socially stratified voters in the Indian state of Bihar. The study generally examines the election outcomes, the variables that affected them, and the socioeconomic effects of Bihar's three assembly elections in a row:2015 and 2020. This study is theoretical and employs secondary election data obtained from the Election Commission of India. Archival materials are additional tools that helped shape debates and ideas about the election campaign and getting people to vote. The quantitative statistics are further shown via a visual diagram and a GIS-based election map. Bihar has a unique political climate that makes caste a key factor in how people vote. Bihar's recent 2020 election illustrates the resurgence of social factors like "class," "religion," and "populism," which are influencing societal dynamics and overshadowing caste identity.
