| An estimated 41 per cent of the 60.07 lakh electorate cast their votes in 26 Assembly constituencies in the sixth and final phase of the Bihar elections till 1400 hours on Saturday, amid a poll boycott call by Maoists who triggered a mine explosion in Gaya district injuring a securityman.
Voting began on a dull note this morning, but gradually picked up with a large number of people queuing up outside polling stations. (Complete Coverage: Battle for Bihar)
