Legislative Assembly elections were held in West Bengal to elect 294 members of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. This electoral process of 293 seats unfolded between 23 and 29 April 2026, taking place in two phases.[3] Voting for one remaining constituency will be held on 21 May 2026.[4]
The election recorded a historic voter turnout of 92.93%, the highest ever in the state surpassing the 2011 election.[5]
Background
The tenure of West Bengal Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 7 May 2026.[6] The previous assembly elections were held in March to April of 2021. After the election, the incumbent Trinamool Congress (AITC) formed the state government again after winning 215 out of 294 seats in the assembly, with Mamata Banerjee sworn in as the Chief Minister.[7][8][9]
Political issues
The campaign was shaped by disputes over electoral rolls and citizenship, border security and undocumented migration, and broader debates over identity, governance, women's safety, employment, development, and anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule.[10][11][12]
SIR and electoral rolls
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls became one of the central controversies of the campaign. The SIR removed around 9 million voters from the rolls in West Bengal, representing about 12% of the electorate. Over six million were categorized as absentee or deceased, while the status of 2.7 million remained pending before tribunals. Observers noted that roughly 65% of the undecided group were Muslims, while Dalit Hindus, especially from the Matua community, were also affected in certain districts.[13]
The deletion of names from the rolls and the subsequent adjudication process became major political issues during the election period.[14][15] The AITC said that the exercise risked disenfranchising genuine voters, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) defended it as a revision of bogus entries and illegal migrants. The issue remains under judicial scrutiny during the campaign.[15][16]
Citizenship Amendment Act
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) remained a separate campaign issue, particularly in areas where refugee and Matua politics were significant. The Union government published details of the act's implementation in the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024, in March 2024, and BJP leaders said that a BJP government in West Bengal would speed up citizenship processing under the Act.[17][18][19] The AITC argued that the issue was being used to polarise the electorate and that the overlap between CAA, SIR and citizenship rhetoric had increased anxiety among minorities and some migrant communities.[20][21]
Border security and migration
Border security and undocumented migration were also major issues in the campaign. BJP leaders framed cross-border movement, border fencing and the Siliguri Corridor as matters of national security and linked them to their wider argument on infiltration.[22][23] The AITC rejected these claims as politically motivated and linked them to communal polarisation.[11][24]
Identity politics
Identity politics remained significant in the campaign. Bengali asmita (identity), the Matua vote, and questions of language, belonging and representation were prominent themes in several regions of the state.[12][11] The AITC sought to present itself as the defender of Bengali identity and state autonomy, while the BJP tied identity questions to citizenship, migration and Hindu consolidation in selected constituencies.[12][25]
Corruption
Corruption and governance remained important opposition themes, especially because of the school recruitment scam and other ongoing investigations by central agencies. These allegations formed a major opposition line of attack on the AITC government's record in administration, public recruitment and institutional credibility.[26][27][28] The AITC, by contrast, emphasised welfare delivery, continuity and its development record.[29][10]
Women's safety
Women's safety was a recurring issue in the campaign, especially after the 2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder case, which drew national attention and remained part of the wider law and order debate.[30][31][11] The AITC cited NCRB data showing Kolkata's comparatively low reported crime rate among large cities, while the BJP argued that such data did not capture under-reporting or failures to register cases.[32][33]
Economy and employment
Employment, industrial development and public recruitment were also prominent issues, particularly among younger and urban voters. Concerns about job creation, delayed recruitment examinations, the effects of the recruitment scandal, and competing claims over investment and industrial growth featured prominently in the campaign.[34][35][36] The BJP foregrounded jobs and industrial revival in its criticism of the state government, while the AITC campaigned on welfare schemes and promised continued investment and infrastructure expansion.[29][37]
Anti-incumbency
Anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule was also noted as a factor in the contest, although it overlapped with disputes over SIR, identity and citizenship.[10][12][36] Dissatisfaction over jobs, corruption, governance and law and order was often discussed alongside these issues rather than separately.[11][14]
Schedule
The Election Commission of India announced the schedule for the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election on 15 March 2026.[38]
On consideration of severe electoral offences in Falta Assembly constituency, re-polling will happen on 21 May 2026, with results for the seat on 24 May 2026.

The second and final phase of voting across 142 constituencies concluded on 29 April 2026, with the Election Commission deploying over 350,000 security personnel statewide — including the National Investigation Agency for the first time in a state election — amid reports of localised violence in Howrah and Hooghly districts.[88] There were 85,379 polling booths and about 4.5 lakh polling officers involved in the election.[89]
Voting turnout
A huge and historic voter turnout of about 93% was recorded in the state, surpassing the previous record of 84% in 2011 assembly, when the 34 year rule of the Left Front fell to TMC.[90] Over 6.3 crore votes were cast, at least 30 lakh more than the previous assembly and parliamentary elections in 2021 and 2024 respectively, inspite of a decrease of near 11% in voter list.[91] Analysts cite the high voter turnout mainly due to the following possibilities[92][93]:
- The conduction of SIR in the state before the election, removed about 60 lakh ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) voter entries leading to reduced total voters and a high turnout.
- Due to high deletion in the voter list, voters have felt importance to cast vote and use their democratic rights. Some, especially muslims and Bangladeshi refugees, feared if they don't, it may create problems in their future voting rights, further leading to cancellation of other government facilities or even citizenship.
- Media reported high numbers of migrant labours coming from other states for the election. Upon one viral video from Gujarat, TMC accused BJP of breaching Election code by arranging train tickets, foods in other states.[94]
- Possibilities of potential anti-incumbency like the previous 2011 election and a general trend all over the world during ruling party change in elections.
- In urban centres, mainly Kolkata metropolis, the usual low turnout trend changed. One of the main reason was the setting up of new booths in high rises and housing complexes. The residents, especially aged persons, felt excitement, ease and comfort in that while avoiding possibilities of poll violence outside.[95] In previous elections, there were cases of such high rises and complexes being locked up by mobs linked to the ruling party TMC, during the elections. Such cases done by the ruling party, had been observed since the left era.[96] TMC continuously opposed setting up of such booths by ECI.[97]

Repoll
After receiving complaints about obstructing EVM buttons of opposition candidates with tapes, bubble gums or inking the opposition candidates' name and symbol by TMC cadre, the ECI took steps to verify these claims.[101] Such cases were also observed in last general election in 2024.[102] After verifying these cases, the ECI decided to do repoll in 15 booths of two assembly constituencies: 11 in Magrahat Paschim and 4 in Diamond Harbour on 2 May, 2026.[103][104] Beside that, due to heavy breaching in election procedures and EVM tampering, the whole assembly constituency of Falta was scheduled to be repolled on 21 May with counting and result on 24 May.[105]
Results
The votes will be counted and results will be announced on 4th May, 2026. There were 77 counting centres across the state.[106]
