The counting of votes will take place on May 4, with results expected the same day.
As part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is contesting 27 Assembly seats in alliance with the AIADMK.
Among the key Assembly constituencies is Sattur in Virudhunagar district, where BJP Tamil Nadu President Nainar Nagenthran is in the fray.

Addressing the gathering, Nitin Nabin expressed strong confidence in the alliance's prospects and urged voters to support Nagenthran, highlighting his leadership credentials and grassroots connect.
Nagenthran, a senior leader and the BJP's state unit President, is seen as a key face of the party in Tamil Nadu.
His candidature in Sattur is being closely watched as the BJP looks to expand its political footprint in the state, particularly in the southern districts.
The BJP's campaign strategy includes deploying senior leaders across Assembly constituencies to energise its cadre base and strengthen voter outreach.
BJP Chief Nabin's visit forms part of this broader effort to consolidate support in crucial Assembly seats.

The election is shaping up to be a multi-cornered contest, with alliances and regional dynamics expected to play a decisive role.
As polling day approaches, Assembly constituencies like Sattur are witnessing intense political activity, with political leaders making their final push to secure voter support.
The Assembly poll results on May 4 will determine not only the fate of candidates like Nainar Nagenthran but also the broader political direction of Tamil Nadu.
