As voting ends for a crucial election cycle today in four states and a Union territory, excitement grows around exit polls. Will BJP be able to topple Trinamool in Bengal? Will Vijay be able to pierce through DMK-AIADMK voter base? What entails for Kerala, Puducherry, and Assam? Surveyors will try to project figures that may indicate what's expected from the weeks-long voting exercise that involved 17 crore voters from 824 assemblies in five assemblies.

Assam, Kerala and Puducherry voted on April 9, while Tamil Nadu, too, voted in a single phase on April 23. In Bengal, the first of the two phases was held on April 23. Voting in the second phase in the state is underway. Exit polls will follow soon after voting ends at 6 pm.

Health warning: Exit polls often get it wrong.
