The 2026 Assembly elections in India will see exit polls released for Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry on April 29, 2026, at 6:30 PM. Agencies such as Axis My India, Today’s Chanakya, and CVoter have established reputations for their predictive capabilities, with Axis My India noted for its large sample sizes and Today’s Chanakya for its accuracy in national vote shares. However, historical data shows that exit polls can be misleading; for instance, the 2004 Lok Sabha polls and 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections saw significant deviations from exit poll predictions. Despite these inaccuracies, the upcoming exit polls will test the reliability of these agencies once again. The Election Commission of India has mandated that no exit polls be released until all voting phases conclude, ensuring a fair process. As the results are anticipated, various media outlets will provide live coverage and updates.
