 NEW DELHI: Four Indian states and a union territory will see new governments elected by May 19. The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday announced election dates in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the union territory of Puducherry.

West Bengal will have a 6-phase voting stretching from April 4 to May 5. There will be voting on April 4, 11, 17, 21, 25, 30 and May 5. Assam will vote on April 4 and 11. Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry will go to polls on May 16. Counting of votes will be taken up on May 19 in all states.

All five assemblies are expiring in April or May. West Bengal is ruled by Trinamool Congress while Kerala is with the Congress-led United Democratic Front and Tamil Nadu the Anna DMK. Assam is also a Congress state.

The Model Code of Conduct takes immediate effect after the announcement, meaning the incumbent governments cannot announce any new schemes or plans targeting voters.

ECI chairman Syed Nasim Ahmad Zaidi said photographs of all candidates will be included along with their name and the symbol on the EVMs.

He said central observers will monitor the whole proceedings and report to the Commission. The Election Commission expects to complete the poll process by May 21.
