Exit poll results announced so far have given Assam to the BJP, Kerala to Pinarayi Vijayan's LDF, West Bengal to Mamata Banerjee and Tamil Nadu to DMK. As the 8th and final phase of the election in West Bengal ended at 6.30pm on April 29, the results of exit polls for the elections of Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and Puducherry have started coming in starting from 7pm. Unlike opinion polls which are based on public opinion, exit polls are based on surveys conducted immediately after voters exit the polling stations. Exit polls remain barred when elections are being held. For these four states and one UT, the Election Commission prohibited the conduct and publishing of results of any exit polls between March 27, 7am and April 29, 7.30pm.
