Exit Polls 2025: When and Where to Watch

According to Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines, exit polls can only be published after voting concludes. The results are expected to be released around 6:30 pm on November 11, providing the first glimpse into voter sentiment.

Major agencies - Axis My India, CVoter, IPSOS, Jan Ki Baat, and Today's Chanakya - will share projections via television and digital platforms. These exit polls will estimate vote share trends and seat projections for both alliances.

How Reliable Are Exit Polls?

Exit polls are indicators, not final results. Their accuracy often depends on sampling methods and demographic reach. In previous elections, exit polls have both predicted trends correctly and missed surprise results.
The official counting of votes will take place on Thursday, November 14, with final results to be declared by the Election Commission of India the same day.
