The Patna Sahib Assembly constituency has a total of approx 3,55,289 registered voters, including 1,85,744 male voters, 1,69,521 female voters, and 24 voters from the third gender.
The Patna Sahib Assembly constituency in its current form was established in 2008 following the delimitation exercise.
The Patna Sahib constituency covers multiple areas, and therefore, does not have a single, universal Pincode, instead, it uses a range of Pincodes, including 800008, 800009, and 800007.
Officially awaited. Given its urban profile and strategic significance, the election outcome here will be a key indicator of changing voter trends in Bihar’s capital region.
Patna Sahib is at a pivot between legacy power structures and emerging digital‑age dynamics. Historically dominated by caste networks (especially among Kayasthas) and a strong BJP base, the constituency is now showing signs of change. Urban voters—young professionals, residents in new housing colonies, and users of digital platforms—are increasingly focused on issues like traffic congestion, flood resilience (given the Ganga river‑bank proximity), smart‑city connectivity, and quality‑of‑life improvements. At the same time, recent reports highlight a persistent challenge: urban voter apathy, with low participation seen across central Patna seats.
If candidates tapping into urban issue‑based campaigning connect successfully with this cohort, Patna Sahib could become the blueprint for urban Bihar’s political transformation.
