The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled for April 23, 2026, with polling from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and counting on May 4. Voters can participate without a voter ID card if their name appears on the electoral roll and they present a valid alternative identity document. Accepted documents include a passport, driving license, PAN card, Aadhaar card, and several others. However, the booth slip (Voter Information Slip) cannot be used as proof of identity. Voters can check their eligibility through the Election Commission's website or the Voter Helpline App. Election authorities have deployed around 300 companies of security forces to ensure a fair process, with logistics for Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and polling materials completed across districts such as Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, and Dindigul.
