The Chief Electoral Officer of Tamil Nadu announced that Rs 151.93 crore worth of cash and goods have been seized across the state due to election code violations.
The seizures include:
Rs 30.53 crore in cash
Rs 0.72 crore in liquor
Rs 6.47 crore in drugs
Rs 92.02 crore in gold, silver, and precious metals
Rs 22.19 crore in other goods and freebies
To improve voter convenience, new measures have been introduced. Voter slips now clearly display serial and part numbers, making it easier to locate polling booths. On polling day, mobile deposit facilities will be available at booths for security purposes.
The Election Commission has also launched ECI Net, a unified platform combining over 40 services, allowing voters to check details, update records, and access assistance easily.
Meanwhile, 24/7 surveillance teams are actively monitoring and preventing the movement of illegal cash, liquor, and other prohibited items across the state.
