    The Election Commission of India (EC) has banned the release of exit polls during the upcoming Assembly elections in Jharkhand and Maharashtra.

    The ban also applies to bypolls in two Parliamentary and 48 legislative constituencies.

    This decision is in accordance with the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

    An official notification in this regard was released on Monday.

    The ECI's notification states that the ban will remain in force from 7:00am on November 13, 2024, to 6:30pm on November 20, 2024.

    During this time, conducting or publicizing exit polls through print or electronic media is strictly prohibited.

    The publication of exit poll results in any form is also restricted under sub-Section (1) of Section 126A of the R.P. Act, 1951.
