Exit polls for 2026 assembly elections in five states have been released. Today's Chanakya projects BJP with over 192 seats in West Bengal and NDA with 102 seats in Assam. DMK+ leads with 125 seats in Tamil Nadu, while UDF is projected at 69 seats in Kerala.

After Tamil Nadu assembly polls, TVK emerged as the largest party but suspense remains over government formation due to lack of majority. Governor Rajendra Arlekar has asked Vijay to prove support of 118 legislators.

While Tamil Nadu's April 23 assembly elections set an all-time high voter turnout of 85.1%—as initially reported amid peaceful polling—the absolute increase in votes cast marks the smallest rise over the prior election in 15 years, per Election Commission provisional data. This follows a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) that net deleted 68 lakh electors.
