Exit polls can give a general idea of voter preferences, but they are not always very accurate. On Tuesday, Jammu and Kashmir voted in the third and final phase of its election. This marks the first election since the Modi government removed the region’s special status in 2019. The Election Commission reported that 69.69% of voters turned out in the third phase, with more women voting than men. The overall turnout for all phases was 63.88%, with 64.68% of men, 63.04% of women, and 38.24% of third-gender voters participating.
A man watches television as he waits for the release of exit polls after voting ends. These exit poll results will be broadcast on various news channels after voting concludes. For real-time updates, people can follow the Hindustan Times website. Exit poll results are useful but should not be considered final, as they sometimes fail to accurately predict the actual election outcome. The final election results, which will determine the 90-seat assembly, will be announced on October 8. However, key decisions regarding Kashmir’s governance will remain under New Delhi’s control.

Local parties argue that the 2019 reforms limited civil rights due to heavy security measures, even as the BJP promotes these reforms as bringing peace and economic growth to the region. While exit polls may show certain trends, the final results often differ, making it important to wait for the official count before drawing conclusions.
In summary, while exit polls offer insight into how voters may have cast their ballots, they are not always reliable. It is best to view them as a general snapshot rather than a guarantee of the election outcome.
