Tamil Nadu election results live: Counting for 234 Assembly seats begins at 8 am, with attention on Vijay’s TVK and its projected vote share.

Counting to take place for 234 seats in Tamil Nadu: All arrangements are in place for the counting of votes across 62 centres in Tamil Nadu today, after 234 Assembly seats went to the polls on April 23. Counting will begin at 8 am with postal ballots, followed by EVM votes at 8.30 am. Tamil Nadu Chief Electoral Officer Archana Patnaik said that preparations are in full swing and counting of votes will start soon. 

TVK eyes strong urban vote share: Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is drawing significant attention with the exit polls, predicting its strong debut, even though it remains unclear if this will translate into seats. In parts of urban Tamil Nadu, both party insiders and rivals estimate its vote share could range between 25% and 30%.

Projections of Vijay winning 8-15 seats: In smaller towns and rural areas, TVK’s vote share is estimated at 15–25% in some constituencies. Projections suggest it may win three to eight seats, while more optimistic estimates put the figure above 10–15. Even partial success could mark one of the biggest shifts in Tamil Nadu’s electoral landscape in decades. Senior DMK leader T K S Elangovan on Sunday took a sharp swipe at actor-turned-politician Vijay’s electoral prospects, predicting that his party, TVK, might struggle to win even “four or five seats” in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. “Vijay may believe he is in a position to form the next government, but the ground reality suggests a very different outcome. TVK might struggle to win even four or five seats,” he said.
