In Tamil Nadu, more than 50 lakh voters have exercised their franchise in the 2026 Assembly elections compared to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, if we look at the figures of votes received during assembly elections in the last 20 years, there is nothing surprising in this.

In fact, this is an example of the tradition of Tamil Nadu where people’s interest in the voting process has always been higher during Assembly elections as compared to Lok Sabha elections.
