Early trends show it is an advantage for the DMK in the state as Udhayanidhi Stalin is leading against PMK's AVA Kassali in Chepauk and his father MK Stalin in Kolathur. The counting for Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2021 started at 8 AM on Sunday (May 2). The initial trends are showing that DMK is heading towards a victory but the trends are only for postal ballots and they can always. The 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly needs a party to have a majority mark of 118 to emerge a winner. Earlier, it was announced by the Tamil Nadu government that a complete lockdown will be there on counting day but movement/transport of officials, political party functionaries, counting agents, and others will be allowed.
