The number of new women voters has increased. Some 30 thousand and more than 40 thousand new women voters have been formed in the districts, whose attitude will show the impact on the election results.

Champaran, East Champaran, Vaishali, Sitamarhi, Darbhanga will change the appearance of elections with a significant role. There is a relatively higher number of women in urban areas. Parties that give fewer seats to women may have to bear the brunt of this. This time the emphasis of half the population voicing their issues in the elections has also increased.
