EC Bans exit poll results from November 7 to November 30

In light of the upcoming Assembly elections in five states, the Election Commission of India on Tuesday prohibited the publication or publicising of exit poll results from November 7 to November 30 evening.

The poll body states that the ban will be in place from November 7 at 7 a.m. to November 30 at 6:30 p.m.

“The Election Commission, having regard to the provisions of sub-Section (2) of the said Section, hereby notifies the period between 7:00 am on 7th November 2023 (Tuesday) and 6:30 PM on 30th November 2023 (Thursday) as the period during which conducting and publishing or publicizing exit polls by means of the print or electronic media or dissemination in any other manner whatsoever, the result of any exit poll in connection with the aforesaid General Elections and bye-election shall be prohibited,” the official notification issued by ECI read.

A survey that is done right after voters have cast their ballots for the candidates they support is known as an exit poll. The tool facilitates the evaluation of political parties’ and their candidates’ levels of support.

The dates of the five state elections are as follows: November 7 for Mizoram, November 7 and 17 for Chhattisgarh, November 17 and 17 for Madhya Pradesh, November 25 and November 17 for Rajasthan, and November 30 for Telangana.

On December 3, all states will conduct their vote counts. Of the five states, Chhattisgarh will have two phases for voting.
