It’s election day in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday and nearly 6.26 crore voters will decide whether to give a hat-trick victory to the ruling AIADMK or bring back the DMK to power. However, with the rise in Coronavirus cases, there could be some hesitancy to vote, especially in urban areas.
Of the total voters, 3.18 crore are women, 3.08 men, and over 7,200 persons from the third gender, according to the Election Commission of India.
As per the final rolls, the Shozhinganallur Assembly constituency, in Chengalpattu district, continues to have the highest number of electors at 6,94,845, while the Harbour Assembly constituency, in Chennai, continues to be the lowest with 1,76,272 electors.
