New Delhi: The counting of votes for the 2026 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and West Bengal is set to take place tomorrow, May 4, 2026. Tight security will be put in place to avoid any untoward incident. According to the Election Commission of India’s website, election result trends will start coming from 8:00 AM onwards. Several exit polls have predicted a thumping victory for the BJP in Assam and a clear edge for the party over the ruling TMC in West Bengal, while projecting a return of the DMK government in Tamil Nadu and a comeback by the Congress-led UDF in Kerala after 10 years.
What does the Exit poll predict?
However, some pollsters predicted a big win for the TMC in West Bengal and a hung House in Tamil Nadu with actor-turned-politician Vijay’s TVK emerging as a spoiler for the DMK. Polling for the 2026 Assembly elections was held in a single phase in Assam (126 constituencies), Kerala (140), Puducherry (30), and Tamil Nadu (234), while West Bengal (293) went to the polls in two phases on April 23 and April 29. On April 9, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry went to the polls. Tamil Nadu went to the polls on April 23.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission ordered re-polling following irregularities on April 29. The repoll was mandated by the Election Commission of India (ECI) following reports of electronic voting machine (EVM) tampering and voter intimidation during the second phase of polling on April 29.

Why did ECI order fresh voting in the Falta assembly?
It is to be noted that the Election Commission has ordered that fresh voting will be held across all 285 polling stations in the Falta assembly constituency of West Bengal on May 21, even as repolling was held in 15 booths in Paschim Magrahat and Diamond Harbour assembly constituencies on Saturday. According to the Election Commission, directives for fresh repolling have been given in Falta “on consideration of severe electoral offences and subversion of the democratic process during the polling in a large number of polling stations on April 29”.
Election Comission of India (ECI) directs that fresh polls shall be conducted in all the 285 polling stations, including Auxiliary polling stations, in 144-Falta Assembly Constituency, between 7 AM and 6 PM on 21st May 2026, and counting of votes will take place on 24th May 2026:… pic.twitter.com/lMZsfuPbdZ
