The voting is (almost) over. The campaigning certainly is, even though the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress have both accused each other of violating rules and trying to seek votes after Election Commission deadlines.

In a few hours Gujarat will complete voting in its second and final phase of voting. The state's over 4.33 crore eligible voters had a choice between the BJP, which has been in power in Gujarat for over two decades, and a Congress led by a surprisingly combative Rahul Gandhi, soon to be the president of the Grand Old Party.

Both the have fought valiantly for Guajrat's 182 assembly seats. And voters turned out in large numbers - first phase polling in Gujarat (on December 9) saw 68 per cent voting for 89 seats while until early afternoon, the second phase, which saw polling for 93 seats, had a 47 per cent voter turnout.

While all eyes are on the Gujarat election, there is another state that went to the poll along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state - Himachal Pradesh, which has seen the BJP and Congress alternately in power since 1985.

The state's 50-lakh-plus voters had a list of 338 candidates to choose from for the Assembly's 68 seats. Voting on November 9 saw 74 per cent turnout.

Results for the two elections will be out Monday, December 18 but the India Today TV exit poll that will air shortly after polling ends today will likely give some indication of which way the winds are blowing in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
