Key Contest
At the heart of this election is a direct battle between two political heavyweights. The Bharatiya Janata Party, led by incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is seeking a historic third consecutive term in power. Opposing them is the Congress party, which has mounted a strong comeback campaign under Gaurav Gogoi, son of former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and currently the Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

What Exit Polls Say
Exit polls released ahead of counting suggest a comfortable majority for the BJP-led government. Most polling agencies have projected a third straight term for Himanta Biswa Sarma's administration. Congress, according to these estimates, appears to be on the back foot, with projections offering little encouragement to Gaurav Gogoi's campaign in the state.

How Counting Works
The counting process follows a structured and strictly supervised procedure. It begins with the tallying of postal ballots, after which votes from Electronic Voting Machines are counted round by round for each constituency. Results are announced after every round, with the returning officer declaring the final result once all rounds are completed and verified. Security at counting centres remains tight, with strong rooms under constant guard and access restricted to authorised personnel and candidate representatives.
Real-time results, trends, and seat-by-seat analysis will be available on the Election Commission's official website from 8am on May 4.
