In Cuddalore, Villupuram, and Kallakurichi districts, three-tier security systems safeguard electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) units housed in strong rooms. Central Armed Police Forces, Armed Reserve Police, Tamil Nadu Special Police, and District police personnel ensure round-the-clock protection. Counting centers include Arignar Anna Government Arts College for Cuddalore, Villupuram, and Maha Bharathi Engineering College for Kallakurichi. Central forces oversee the inner ring security, while state and local police manage outer rings and hall security, respectively.
