Bengal Exit Polls Today | With the final phase of voting in West Bengal ending today, exit poll projections for the 2026 Assembly elections are set to be released later this evening.

In Assam, the surveys are expected to offer the first big clues in the high-stakes battle between the BJP and the Congress.

The BJP is seeking a third straight term in the 126-seat House, while Congress is trying to regain ground after the BJP-led alliance won 75 seats in 2021.
