Tamil Nadu Goes to the Polls

The election is being seen as a three-cornered contest between the DMK, AIADMK, and Vijay's TVK party.

Despite a muted campaign, voter turnout is expected to be robust, with Chennai district recording over 50% participation by midday.

Sporadic clashes between party agents have been reported at some booths, and TVK has urged the Election Commission to extend voting hours due to transport disruptions.

Foreign delegates from 19 countries are also in the state to observe polling procedures and ensure transparency.
