Votes are being counted, in multiple rounds, across hundreds of constituencies under tight security arrangements. The results will decide the next governments in Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and West Bengal. Along with the main polls, counting for several Assembly bypolls is also in progress.
