Polling in Tamil Nadu took place on April 18. All 39 seats in Tamil Nadu went to polls in phase 2.

In addition to Lok Sabha seats, 18 seats in Tamil Nadu assembly are also up for grabs. These by-polls were necessitated because of disqualification of 18 MLAs after they shifted loyalty from AIADMK to TTV Dhinakaran's AMMK.

The 2019 Lok Sabha election was held in seven phases from 11 April to 19 May 2019 to constitute the 17th Lok Sabha. The results are due today (23 May) after the counting.
