Elections in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry could be held in April

Election Commission Likely to Announce Assembly Poll Schedule for Five Regions in Mid-March

PTI, NEW DELHI, FEB 17, 2026: Assembly elections in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry could be held on various dates in April, for which the schedule is likely to be announced in the middle of March, officials said on Tuesday.

They said the Election Commission would announce the dates of the Assembly polls together "sometime in middle of March" and elections could take place on different dates in April. The terms of the five Assemblies end on different dates in May and June. While the five-year term of Puducherry ends on June 15, the terms of Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal end on May 20, 23, 10 and 7 respectively.

The poll authority has already started touring the poll-bound states and is already in Assam to assess poll preparedness. Last time, Assembly polls in West Bengal were held in eight phases — by far the maximum. In Assam, elections were held in two phases, and in a single phase in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry.

Of the poll-bound Assemblies, Puducherry was the first one to publish its final electoral roll on February 14 as part of the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls.
