Assembly Election Results 2026 Live Updates: At 8 am today, votes will be counted across Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry and West Bengal after a high-voltage campaign, with results seen as make-or-break for key players including the Trinamool Congress, DMK, BJP, Congress and the Left. Under a three-tier security grid, postal ballots taken up first. 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 remains the X factor, with two pollsters suggesting 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 following the deaths of sitting MLAs #assemblyelectionsresults #rajdeepsadesai #westbengalelectionresults #tamilnaduelectionresults #assamelectionresults #keralamelectionresults #pmmodi #mamatabanerjee ...
