The political heat is rising in Tamil Nadu as the state heads toward the 2026 Assembly elections, a contest that promises fierce battles, shifting alliances, and a possible new political factor - actor-turned-politician Vijay.
The Election Commission has announced that polling for all 234 seats of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly will take place on 23 April 2026, with counting of votes and results scheduled for 4 May 2026. The election process formally begins with the filing of nominations on 30 March 2026, while the last date for filing nominations is 6 April 2026. The scrutiny of nominations will take place on 7 April, and candidates can withdraw their nominations until 9 April 2026.
This election will decide who governs Tamil Nadu for the next five years and whether the ruling party retains power or a new coalition emerges.
