A high level of security has been established at key counting centers in Chennai for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Loyola College, a major counting hub, is under a three-layer security setup with police personnel at entry points and strict vehicle checks. Similar security measures are in place at other centers like Queen Mary’s College and Anna University where EVMs are stored.
Counting in Tamil Nadu began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, followed by EVM votes at 8.30 a.m., all closely monitored by election officials and security personnel. The Election Commission of India has emphasized transparency and security during the process. The results will not only impact Tamil Nadu but also Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, and Puducherry.
Over 4.8 million voters in Tamil Nadu participated in the elections, marking an 85.10% turnout. The outcome will determine the future of the state’s political landscape dominated by Dravidian parties. Actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay’s party adds a new dynamic to the elections. With anticipation high, Tamil Nadu awaits the election results that could alter its political course.
