The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections on April 23 saw a significant voter turnout, with 4,87,98,833 voters casting their ballots out of 5,73,43,291 registered electors. This translates to a turnout rate of 83.96% for men and 86.2% for women, reflecting strong civic engagement. The reported figures may increase as they do not currently include postal ballots from officials, police personnel, service voters, and individuals aged 85 and above or those with disabilities who voted using Form 12D. Notably, the votes of nearly 1.1 lakh officials who voted directly at polling stations using Election Duty Certificates (EDC) are included in the initial count. The Election Commission of India (EC) is expected to release final figures that will provide a clearer picture of voter participation.
