The Election Commission of India will announce the results of the 2026 Assembly elections for Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry today, May 4. These elections were conducted in multiple phases over the past few weeks, during which all political parties engaged in vigorous campaigning. Stiff competition was witnessed in several constituencies, and voter turnout was also robust.
The counting of votes commenced at 8:00 AM amidst tight security. Trends are expected to start emerging within the first few hours, and by the end of the day, the results for nearly all constituencies will be declared.
The counting process begins with postal ballots, which include votes cast by service personnel, election duty staff, and other individuals who were unable to vote in person. This is followed by the counting of votes from Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), wherein each machine is opened in the presence of election officials and representatives of the contesting candidates.
How are votes counted?
Following the counting of postal ballots, votes cast via EVMs are tallied. Each machine clearly reveals the number of votes secured by a specific candidate. The entire process is conducted in a transparent manner, with the agents of the candidates remaining present throughout.
During the counting process, updates are released after every round, providing real-time information on which candidates are leading and where the electoral contest remains tight.
