Exit Poll Results for West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry Scheduled After April 29 Voting

The final phase of the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal concludes on April 29, with exit poll results for West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry scheduled for release after 6:30 pm that day, following Election Commission guidelines. Media are barred from publishing election-related content during the silence period to prevent influencing voters, with violations punishable by law. High voter turnout has been reported across states, and official vote counting will occur on May 4. Exit polls aim to reflect voter sentiment but have faced scrutiny over accuracy in past elections.
