As assembly elections take place across Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry, voters are eagerly waiting for exit poll results. However, the release of exit polls depends on strict rules set by the Election Commission of India. Here’s a complete guide on when and where to check exit polls and which agencies to follow.
When & Where to Check Exit Polls Today?
Exit polls will be released only after voting across all phases in these states and UT is completed. Once allowed, results are typically broadcast in the evening.
