{{Further information|List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu|Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly}}
The [[States and union territories of India|state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]] is divided into [[List of constituencies of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly|234 assembly constituencies]], each of which elects a member (called an [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]]) to represent it at the state's [[Unicameralism|unicameral]] [[State legislative assemblies of India|legislative assembly]], as per Article 168 of the [[Constitution of India]]. The [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]] convenes at [[Fort St. George, India|Fort St. George]], [[Chennai]]. The member that manages to receive the support of the majority of the members of the assembly (that is the Chief Ministerial candidate of the party that secures more than 50% of the seats), which is a minimum of 118 members, is appointed as the [[Chief minister (India)|Chief Minister]] of Tamil Nadu by the state's [[Governor (India)|Governor]], to head the [[State governments of India|state government]] for a term of the next five years.

Tamil Nadu's partisan politics have been dominated by its two leading parties, [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) and [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK), for the last 50 years. Each recognized party in India is given a polling symbol by the [[Election Commission of India]], an independent and neutral body of officers that conducts and regulates all the elections in the country. The DMK contests with the ''Rising Sun'' symbol, while the AIADMK contests with the ''Two Leaves''.

Tamil Nadu's partisan politics have been dominated by its two regional [[Dravidian parties|Dravidian]] parties, [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) and [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK), for the last 50 years (since [[1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election|1967]]). Each recognized party in India is given a polling symbol by the [[Election Commission of India]], an independent and neutral body of officers that conducts and regulates all the elections in the country. The DMK contests with the ''Rising Sun'' symbol, while the AIADMK contests with the ''Two Leaves''.

Elected Chief Minister

TBD

The sixteenth legislative assembly election of Tamil Nadu was held on 6 April 2021, to elect representatives from the 234 constituencies in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.[6][7] The poll is the state's first assembly election after the demises of the two most prominent Chief Ministers in its modern history, J. Jayalalithaa and M. Karunanidhi, who died in 2016 and 2018 respectively. The current fifteenth legislative assembly will conclude its term on 24 May 2021.

Overview

The state of Tamil Nadu is divided into 234 assembly constituencies, each of which elects a member (called an MLA) to represent it at the state's unicameral legislative assembly, as per Article 168 of the Constitution of India. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly convenes at Fort St. George, Chennai. The member that manages to receive the support of the majority of the members of the assembly (that is the Chief Ministerial candidate of the party that secures more than 50% of the seats), which is a minimum of 118 members, is appointed as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu by the state's Governor, to head the state government for a term of the next five years.

The Chief Election Commissioner of India, Sunil Arora, holding a press conference in New Delhi on February 26, 2021, to announce the schedule for Legislative Assembly election of Tamil Nadu along with those of Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, and Puducherry.

Tamil Nadu's partisan politics have been dominated by its two regional Dravidian parties, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), for the last 50 years (since 1967). Each recognized party in India is given a polling symbol by the Election Commission of India, an independent and neutral body of officers that conducts and regulates all the elections in the country. The DMK contests with the Rising Sun symbol, while the AIADMK contests with the Two Leaves.

The legislative assembly of Tamil Nadu goes to polls alongside the legislative assemblies of three other Indian states, namely Assam, Kerala, and West Bengal, and that of the union territory of Puducherry.

Background

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The sixteenth legislative assembly election is the first election to the body after the deaths of the two most prominent Chief Ministers of modern Tamil Nadu, M. Karunanidhi (pictured left) and J. Jayalalithaa (right).

In 2011, the AIADMK under J. Jayalalithaa handily defeated the DMK headed by M. Karunanidhi. During the 2016 assembly elections, the AIADMK retained its majority with 136 seats, while the DMK increased its strength to 98 seats.[8] 2021's sixteenth assembly election is the first state poll after the death of the two key leaders, Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi, who died in 2016 and 2018 respectively.

After Jayalalithaa's demise, the AIADMK assumed a co-leadership under the party's legislative assembly leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami and acting chief minister O. Panneerselvam in 2017. However, this relationship was marred factionalism in the party. Subsequently, Palaniswami replaced Paneerselvam as chief minister, while the latter became the deputy chief-minister of the state and the coordinator of the party. For the first time, the BJP began to play an influential role in state politics by keeping the two factions together.[9]

After Karunanidhi's demise in 2018, Karunanidhi's son M. K. Stalin, former deputy chief minister of Tamil Nadu, became the unquestioned DMK president. In the 2019 Indian parliamentary elections, the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance swept Tamil Nadu, winning 38 out of 39 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state. In the by-elections to the assembly during the same period, the DMK won 13 seats while the AIADMK won 10.

Key issues

In order to improve the economy after the coronavirus pandemic, both the AIADMK and DMK promised jobs in their manifestos. Industries, especially MSMEs, have been hit hard by the slowdown in the economy.[10]

Another issue is caste. The AIADMK-led government approved a sub-quota in MBC of 10.5% for the Vanniyars, dominant in northern districts.[11] The Aiadmk & Bjp had fulfilled the demand of grouping 7 castes under Devendrakula Velalar an agricultural community found in Tamil Nadu. [12]

Recent events such as the Thoothukudi protest in 2018 against Sterlite copper and the current agitation by fishermen at Kattupalli against the expansion of Adani port have also made the environment an issue for the elections.[13]

Party promises & candidature details

Election Manifesto plays a key role in determining the voting behaviour of the voters in the Tamil Nadu Electoral Politics.[14] Enabling people with information about manifestos, promises, and candidate details through technology can ensure that it reaches a huge number of people.[15][16] Global Shapers Chennai, a non-partisan group powered by the World Economic Forum has released the TN Election Promises 2021 platform.[17] The platform provides the voters with data and insights on the promises made by different parties, constituency-wise candidate background details (assets, education, criminal cases, etc.), and helps them compare the promises by categorizing them into different focus areas such as agriculture, education, etc., to help make an informed voting decision.[citation needed]

Voter statistics

According to the ECI, 62.6 million people were eligible to vote in upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.[18] Sholinganallur assembly has the highest number of eligible voters with 694,845 voters.[19]

Repoll

The Election Commission of India, on 13 April 2021, declared the polling held at the polling station No. 92 in the Velachery assembly constituency "void" under 58 (1)(b) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The commission ordered a repoll in the station on the basis of a report submitted by the returning officers and observers. Fresh voting was conducted on 17 April 2021 between 7 am and 7 pm IST. The repoll follows the suspension of three Greater Chennai Corporation officials for transporting two EVMs and one VVPAT machine of booth number 92 on a two-wheeler in the Velachery-Tharamani road. [32][33][34][35]

Exit polls

The Election Commission on March 24, banned the publication of any exit poll from 27 March till 7:30 PM of 29 April to prevent any influence on voters in the general election of West Bengal and by-elections in other states.[36][37] On April 26, the ban period was preponed to 7:00 PM.[38]
