India: Steps to avoid violence during Bihar assembly elections, Daily News and Analysis (2010)

This article discusses the special measures implemented to prevent election-related violence in the assembly elections in Bihar, India. In this state, Maoists threatened to disrupt the upcoming assembly elections. The Election Commission decided to deploy central para-military forces and armed police from other states, and to hold the polling in a very restricted period of time (from 7.00 am to 3.00 pm). Levels of election-related violence in the country are gradually decreasing: in 2001, 191 people lost their lives in the local elections, but in 2004 only 19 people died.
