Tamil Nadu conducted its Assembly elections with a focus on achieving a voter turnout of at least 80.6% to surpass previous records. The state has a history of fluctuating voter participation, with the highest turnout recorded in 2011 at 78.01%. Recent elections have seen a decline, with turnout at 73.63% in 2021 and 74.81% in 2016. A significant factor this year is the dominance of women voters, who number 2.93 crore, outpacing 2.83 crore male voters. Additionally, the inclusion of 7,728 registered Third Gender voters reflects a more inclusive electorate. The rise of nearly 14.6 lakh first-time voters is expected to play a crucial role in influencing turnout. However, the total electorate has decreased from 6.41 crore in 2025 to 5.73 crore now, presenting a challenge for achieving high turnout numbers. The Election Commission has implemented extensive measures to facilitate the voting process, deploying over 1.06 lakh ballot units and significant security forces.
