The campaigning for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2026 is scheduled to conclude on April 21, initiating a mandatory silent period before the polls. Voting will take place on April 23 across all 234 constituencies in the state. This silent period, enforced by the Election Commission, prohibits all forms of public canvassing, including rallies and advertisements, allowing voters to make decisions free from external influence. The Model Code of Conduct remains in effect, ensuring that political parties do not misuse government resources or engage in bribery. On polling day, voters must arrive at designated booths with valid identification, as mobile phones are prohibited within the voting area. Voting will occur from 7 AM to 6 PM, with those in line allowed to cast their votes before the polls close. The results will be announced on May 4, determining the composition of the next Tamil Nadu government.
