Assembly elections are expected this year in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala, Assam, and Puducherry. Election Commission sources have indicated that the polls are likely to be conducted in April, marking a significant political exercise across these states.
The official election schedule is expected to be announced by mid-March. This will provide clarity to political parties, candidates, and voters as they prepare for the upcoming polls.
To ensure smooth conduct, Election Commission officials have already begun touring the states to assess preparedness and logistical arrangements. They are currently in Assam as part of their pre-election evaluation and will continue similar inspections in other states in the coming weeks.
