The election process in Tamil Nadu is moving into a crucial stage as the deadline for filing nominations for the 2026 Assembly elections is set to end on April 6. Candidates contesting across all 234 constituencies must complete their nomination submissions by this date.
Following the submission phase, the Election Commission will begin scrutiny of the filed nominations on April 7 to ensure all documents and eligibility criteria are properly met. Candidates will then have the option to withdraw their nominations until April 9, if they choose to step back from the contest.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections are scheduled to take place on April 23, making this period critical for political parties and independent candidates finalizing their participation.
With the nomination deadline approaching, political activity has intensified across the state, as parties rush to confirm candidates and complete formalities ahead of the polls.
