Notes
- ↑ These are the ward numbers defined by the 2008 Delimitation Order for Assembly constituency boundaries. Even if the Patna Municipal Corporation has renumbered or reorganised municipal wards for civic administration since then, the Assembly constituency boundaries continue to follow the delimitation notified by the Election Commission until a fresh delimitation is carried out.
