Tamil Nadu recorded its highest polling percentage in an Assembly election on April 23, 2026.
The State achieved about 84.69% voter turnout (provisional), the highest in its electoral history.
Over 4.85 crore voters cast their votes from 7 a.m. across 234 Assembly constituencies.
This election was held to choose members of the 17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) (revision of electoral roll) reduced the size of the electorate compared to 2021, which played a key role in the higher turnout.
