The voting for the second and last phase of polling held across 142 seats has ended. The first phase of voting on 23 April was held for 152 seats. With this the present election cycle is over.Phase 1 turnout crossed 93% with many attributing the increased percentage to deletions from absolute voting population of West Bengal during SIR. The second phase of West Bengal elections had a voter turnout of 91.41%.
Apart from West Bengal, elections were held in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. Exit poll results were published only after the polling ended on April 29, 2026.
The 2026 contest has been shaped by a high-voltage fight between the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee and the BJP, with the Congress-Left alliance seeking pockets of revival. Campaign themes revolved around women voters, Bengali asmita, the Matua vote and largescale voter deletions during Special Intensive Revision of the Election Commission. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee claims that they would form the government again on thursday, April 30th.
