The Election Commission of India is taking significant steps to ensure a smooth electoral process for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, scheduled for April 23 and 29, 2026. To prevent irregularities and violence, the Commission will deploy paramilitary forces extensively. If any technical issues arise during the webcasting of votes, such as a brief camera disruption, it could trigger a re-poll. For the first phase of voting, re-polls may be held on April 25 and 27 if necessary, while the second phase could see re-polls on May 1 and 3. The Commission has warned that if malpractice persists and multiple complaints are received, it may withhold results for the entire legislative assembly. The measures aim to reassure voters, ensuring they can cast their votes without fear, with arrangements in place for safe escort to polling stations if needed. The results for West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry will be announced on May 4.
