The Election Commission of India is set to announce the schedule for upcoming Assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Puducherry.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is scheduled to announce the dates for Assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Puducherry on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 4 p.m. The terms of these Legislative Assemblies are set to conclude on various dates in May and June.
In preparation for the elections, the ECI has completed a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in the four states and the Union Territory. The final electoral rolls have been published accordingly.
The ECI has been conducting visits to the poll-bound regions to assess election preparedness. A team from the Commission recently visited Assam to review the state's readiness for the upcoming elections.
In the previous Assembly elections, West Bengal conducted polling in eight phases, the highest among the states. Assam held elections in two phases, while Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry conducted single-phase elections.
