The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued consolidated instructions on the post-poll scrutiny of Form 17A (Register of Voters) and other poll-day documents to strengthen transparency and detect even subtle malpractices at polling stations and recommend for repolls if required. All candidates were informed in advance about the date, time and venue of scrutiny.

Around 455 candidates or their agents also participated in the scrutiny process.
After scrutiny, no discrepancy/malpractice was found at any of the Polling Station and no re-poll was recommended in Phase-I of the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections.
The entire process was videographed and after scrutiny, Forms 17A and related materials were re-sealed with the RO’s seal.
