With only two days left for campaigning to end in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, political parties in Coimbatore have intensified efforts across all ten constituencies to secure crucial votes before the silence period begins.
Coimbatore: The last date for campaigning in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections is April 21, 2026, with the mandatory silence period beginning at 5 p.m. on that day. Polling is scheduled for April 23, 2026, while counting of votes will take place on May 4, 2026.
As the contest reaches its final phase, candidates across the district are stepping up roadshows, public meetings, door-to-door canvassing and targeted voter outreach in a bid to maximise support before campaigning comes to a halt.
Coimbatore district, which comprises ten Assembly constituencies — Valparai (SC), Thondamuthur, Kinathukadavu, Pollachi, Coimbatore South, Coimbatore North, Sulur, Singanallur, Kavundampalayam and Mettupalayam — is witnessing intense political activity.
Meanwhile, updated electoral rolls show the district’s total voter strength has risen to 27,44,472 as of April 6, including 13,22,759 male voters, 14,21,179 female voters, and 534 other voters.
District officials said the 20–29 age group now accounts for more than 4.4 lakh voters, marking an increase of over 50,000 voters compared to the draft rolls.
First-time voter enrolment in the 18–19 age group has also risen sharply to 53,646, up from around 40,000 before the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
The district administration said sufficient election machinery is in place, including 8,343 ballot units, 5,200 control units and 5,572 VVPAT units.
A total of 182 polling stations have so far been identified as vulnerable, of which 78 fall under Coimbatore City Police limits and 104 under Coimbatore District Police limits.
The district has 3,540 polling stations, including eight auxiliary polling stations. Of these, 2,537 are in urban areas and 1,026 in rural areas.
Officials have also proposed to establish 10 model polling stations and 10 women-managed polling stations, one in each Assembly constituency.
Among the constituencies, Kavundampalayam has the highest electorate with 4,07,507 voters, followed by Sulur (3,03,541) and Kinathukadavu (3,00,486). Coimbatore North has 2,91,533 voters, Mettupalayam 2,90,059, Thondamuthur 2,87,442, Singanallur 2,66,058, Pollachi 2,02,015, and Coimbatore South 1,86,509. Valparai (SC) has the lowest electorate in the district with 1,72,284 voters.
With youth and first-time voter enrolment rising sharply this year, political observers expect a fierce final battle for every vote in the district.
