Assembly Election Results 2026 Live Updates: Votes will be counted on Monday, May 4, in Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry and West Bengal after a high-voltage campaign. The results will be make-or-break for regional powers such as the Trinamool Congress and DMK, as well as the BJP, Congress and the Left. Counting begins at 8 am, with postal ballots across centres secured under a three-tier security grid. If exit polls hold, the BJP is projected to secure a third straight term in Assam, and could even edge past the TMC in West Bengal. In Tamil Nadu, most projections point to MK Stalin’s DMK returning to power, though actor Vijay’s TVK is the X factor in this contest; two pollsters suggest he could even come close to forming a government. In Puducherry, exit polls predict a comfortable NDA win, with the alliance comprising AINRC, BJP, AIADMK and LJK. Votes will also be counted for bypolls in eight seats across Goa, Karnataka, Nagaland, Gujarat and Maharashtra, held last month after the deaths of sitting MLAs.
