Election Commission of India May Start Polls with TN, Assam; Bengal Likely in 6-7 Phases The Election Commission of India (ECI) is likely to start the poll process with Tamil Nadu and Assam, followed by West Bengal which may require six-seven phases. The commission has finalized its strategy for conducting free and fair polls in the three states. According to sources, the ECI will first conduct elections in Tamil Nadu and Assam, where the assembly elections are due to be held in April-May 2024. Both states have a significant number of voters and require a massive electoral exercise. The commission may announce the poll schedule for these two states in the next few days. West Bengal, on the other hand, will require a more complex poll process. With a large electorate and multiple phases required to ensure free and fair elections, the ECI is likely to take some time before announcing the poll dates.

The commission is also keenly monitoring the situation in Tripura, where the assembly elections are due to be held later this year. While there has been no official announcement on the poll schedule, sources suggest that the ECI may announce the dates soon.#West_Bengal #Tamil_Nadu #Assam #Election_Commission_of_India #Tripura
