India Today reports on the commencement of polling for the 2026 Assembly elections in Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry. Early data indicates a brisk voter turnout, with Assam recording 17% and Kerala 16.23% by mid-morning. In Assam, analysts examine the impact of the delimitation of 126 seats and the popularity of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who visited Kamakhya Temple before voting in Jhalukbari. Key factors include the ‘Orunodoi’ welfare scheme and its influence on the women’s vote, alongside issues of illegal immigration. In Jorhat, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi faces scrutiny regarding his commitment to the assembly seat over his Lok Sabha position. The report also covers Kerala, where the UDF seeks to leverage anti-incumbency against the LDF. Experts discuss the BJP’s organizational growth and its potential to disrupt traditional dynamics by appealing to Christian voters. This special report highlights the strategic importance of these regions and the role of women voters as decisive factors in the final electoral outcome.
