Voting for the Punjab State Assembly Elections 2022 was held on February 20, 2022, for a total of 117 seats. The number of seats needed to win in Punjab is 59.

Exit poll results predict a surprising victory for AAP by massive margins.

Counting begins at 8 am. The latest trends are expected to trickle in within the first hour. First, the ballot votes will be counted before the EVM votes.

Punjab is among the 5 states that went to polls this year. According to the India Today-MyAxis India Exit Polls, it is likely that Punjab will witness a change in the political scenario. Congress is trying to retain one of their bastions, while BJP is trying to make a dent in the political space. AAP on the other hand may have already made their presence known in the state. The India Today-MyAxis India Exit Polls predicted a clean sweep for Arvind Kejriwal's AAP in Punjab.

Follow the trends:

• Currently, Congress is trying to retain power in Punjab. But the climate doesn’t seem to be too welcoming of the party which is in power right now. Congress had a change in leadership just 6 months before the elections. Its most notable Chief Minister face Captain Amarinder Singh was shunned by the party for the current CM and CM face Charanjit Singh Channi.
• India Today-Axis MyIndia Exit Poll predicts a major win for AAP with an average of 83 seats. Congress is expected to win only 25 seats, down from 52 seats from its performance in 2017.
• AAP’s Chief Minister face is Bhagwant Mann, a member of Lok Sabha and a former comedian.
