In a unique initiative during the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, a robot named Tina, created by students from Government Arts College in Coimbatore, greeted voters and distributed sweets at polling stations. This effort aimed to boost voter turnout and make the electoral process more engaging. Student developer Vimal Vijayan explained that the robot utilizes voice processing and radio control technology to guide voters on how to cast their votes. By 1 PM, the voter turnout was recorded at 62.18%, with Tiruppur district achieving the highest turnout of 62.97%. The initiative included two such robots to enhance voter awareness and participation. Tamil Nadu's electorate consists of over 5.73 crore voters, including 2.93 crore female voters and 2.80 crore male voters, along with 7,728 third-gender voters. The main contest in the elections is between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance, with counting of votes scheduled for May 4.
