West Bengal Assembly Election Exit Poll Results: Where to Watch Live Coverage

Bengal is done with the first phase of elections on April 23. The second phase will be held on April 29. Once the elections are over, the results will be announced on May 4. The voter turnout in the first phase was remarkable, crossing more than 90 percent. In this phase, voters cast their votes across 16 districts in 152 assembly seats.

Previous predictions suggested a status quo, but the voter turnout has changed the overall perspective. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has said that this has been the highest voter turnout in the history of Bengal elections.

All political parties are making strong claims ahead of the election results. While the TMC has been making statements about continuing their dominance, the BJP has claimed it will take away their throne. The BJP also stated that their party is expected to win 110 seats out of 152.

What are Exit Polls ?

Exit Polls are surveys conducted by agencies that ask voters about their opinion after they have cast their votes and are leaving the polling booth. Unlike pre-election polls, exit polls talk about the voting patterns rather than predictions. They do not ask about who they are going to vote, but instead ask whom they have voted for. This helps agencies analyse real voting patterns accurately.

When will the Exit polls be out?

Exit Polls can only be declared after the completion of the final phase of elections. The second phase of election is scheduled to be held on April 29, and the results will be declared on May 4th. Exit polls results are declared in between these. According to Section 126A

under the Representation of the People Act (RPA), exit polls cannot be conducted until the voting process is done in all phases.

Where to watch

These are some agencies that conduct exit polls:

• Chanakya
• CV Voter
• IPAC
• Political Analytics India

Exit polls mostly prove right, but there have been some instances where they have gone wrong. For example, in the last elections, the result predicted by exit polls turned out to be different from the final result. Therefore, while exit polls might prove to be a blueprint of the results, they are not always fully accurate. So, it will be interesting to see what this year's exit polls indicate.
