Exit polls often serve as the first checkpoint after voting ends, especially when multiple states hold elections at the same time. With elections held across West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry, attention is now shifting to when early projections will be released and where people can watch them live. These estimates are not final results, but they still shape early narratives. 

The stakes are high this time, as major players are set for a battle in West Bengal, with the Trinamool Congress trying to retain power while the Bharatiya Janata Party eyes breaking Mamata Banerjee's more than a decade-long streak. In Tamil Nadu, CM Stalin-led Dravida Munnetra Kazagham is fighting against the BJP, trying to make inroads in southern India.   

When Will Exit Polls For These States Be Released?

Exit polls for all five states, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the Union Territory of Puducherry, will be released on April 29 after 6:30 pm. The timing is set by the Election Commission of India, which does not allow any exit poll data to be published until voting in all phases concludes.

Polling was conducted in April, covering all assembly seats in these states and the Union Territory. This restriction ensures voters are not influenced while voting is still underway. The counting of votes for all five assembly elections will take place on May 4.
