The Tamil Nadu Assembly election of 2026 concluded with a historic voter turnout of 85.05%, reflecting a significant rise from previous elections—73.63% in 2021 and 78.29% in 2011. The election featured a three-cornered contest among the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the opposition All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), and the newly formed Thalapathy Vijay's party, Tamilaga Vivasayi Katchi (TVK). Polling was largely peaceful, with no major incidents reported. Karur district achieved the highest turnout at 91.86%, while Kanyakumari had the lowest at 75.50%. Both the DMK, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin, and AIADMK, led by Edappadi K Palaniswami, expressed confidence in their chances of victory. As the counting day approaches, the results will determine if the DMK retains its position, if AIADMK can reclaim power, or if emerging parties like TVK will reshape the political landscape in Tamil Nadu.
