In Tamil Nadu, nearly 40% of assembly constituencies reported a drop of over 10% in voter turnout following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. A total of 89 out of 234 constituencies were affected, with notable decreases in areas like Perambur and Tiruppur (South). The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay, is showing strong early results in several constituencies, including Perambur and Virugambakkam. However, the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) maintains a lead in Chepauk–Thiruvallikeni, indicating mixed outcomes across the state. The revision process saw Tamil Nadu's electorate decrease to 5.67 crore, with nearly 70 lakh names removed, largely due to migration, duplication, and deaths. Chennai was notably affected, with some constituencies experiencing deletions exceeding 40%. As the results unfold, the TVK's performance in urban areas highlights its emerging presence in Tamil Nadu politics.
