With voting finally coming to an end in Uttar Pradesh, we are inching closer to the final results for all five states where elections were held – UP, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand, and Manipur. While the Election Commission will make the results official on March 11, you can look forward to the 2017 exit polls on Thursday to get a general idea about which party will come in power in the five states, or if a hung assembly will be the result.
Though the results will be out for all five states, all eyes will be on UP exit poll 2017 results to see whether the scales will tilt in the favour of the SP-Congress alliance, or if BJP or BSP will emerge winners. While the actual results will not be out till Saturday, the exit polls usually (though not always) can be an indicator of which party will storm to power. If you are not in front of a TV to track the 2017 exit poll results, here’s how you can catch all the exit polls 2017 action online:
As mandated by the Election Commission, exit poll results cannot be announced by news agencies till 5:30pm on March 9. After that, TV channels and news websites can start releasing exit poll results they have collected.
