With the final phase of polling in West Bengal scheduled for April 29, 2026, attention is on the release of exit poll predictions by major pollsters. The Election Commission of India has imposed a ban on the conduct and publication of exit polls from 7:00 AM on April 9 until 6:30 PM on April 29. Axis My India, led by Pradeep Gupta, is expected to publish its projections immediately after the polling period ends, while Today's Chanakya Analysis will start releasing its state-wise predictions on April 30, beginning with Assam at 5:30 PM. Exit polls are significant as they shape expectations regarding election outcomes and are closely monitored by political parties, analysts, and investors. The staggered release of predictions means audiences will have the opportunity to compare forecasts over two days, heightening interest in the accuracy of these projections against the final vote counts.
