After electoral battles across West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry over the course of the month, attention is now turning to the exit polls — the first broad indicators of how voters may have cast their ballots.
Multiple agencies are set to release their projections after polling concludes, offering an early snapshot of the political mood across five high-stakes contests.
While exit polls are not final results and have often missed the mark in tightly fought elections, they remain closely watched for the trends they capture and the momentum they suggest. From Mamata Banerjee’s bid to retain West Bengal, to the BJP’s push in Assam and the fiercely contested battles in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the projections are expected to shape the political narrative ahead of counting day.
