Subtopic 4.1: Elections of 2004-2005

In the 2004 Lok Sabha election the Chhapra poll was cancelled on 5 May and a repoll held on 31 May 2004.
The February 2005 assembly election was held in three phases (3, 15 and 23 February 2005), together with Haryana and Jharkhand; 93 seats voted in the last phase.
No government could be formed, so President's Rule followed (7 Mar - 24 Nov 2005), and a second assembly election was held in October-November 2005. So 2005 saw two assembly elections.
