==Background==
By the requirement, state assembly election must be held at an interval of five years or whenever it is dissolved by the [[President of India|president]]. The [[2011 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|previous election]], to the 14th legislative assembly, was conducted 13 April 2011 and its term would have naturally expired on 22 May 2016. The election to the 16th legislative assembly was organised and conducted by the [[Election Commission of India]] (ECI) and was held in a single phase on 16 May 2016. There were over 5.79 crore voters in the electoral rolls and 65,616 polling stations in Tamil Nadu.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/over-5-79-crore-voters-in-tamil-nadu-116030401255_1.html|title=Over 5.79 crore voters in Tamil Nadu |work=Business Standard |date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

A special purification drive of electoral rolls between 15 and 29 February 2016 in all poll-bound States including Tamil Nadu was held, in which door-to-door verification was undertaken involving booth-level agents. On 12 February 2016, Election Commission of India announced that 17 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu will have [[Voter-verified paper audit trail]] (VVPAT) machines attached along with [[Indian voting machines|EVM]]s.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/kancheepuram-voters-to-have-vvpat-facility/article8319361.ece|title=Kancheepuram voters to have VVPAT|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=6 May 2016}}</ref> [[Voter-verified paper audit trail]] (VVPAT) machines will be in place in 4,000 booths.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/Voter-Paper-Audit-at-4K-Booths-for-Polls/2016/01/30/article3251887.ece |title=Voter Paper Audit at 4K Booths for Polls |date=30 January 2016 |work=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

==Controversies==
On 3 May, News 7 and [[Dinamalar]] released an opinion poll giving an edge for DMK over AIADMK. But some editions of Dinamalar carried a statement on the first page distancing itself from the surveys.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thenewsminute.com/article/tn-polls-dinamalar-distances-itself-dinamalar-news-7s-west-tn-surveys-42655|title=TN polls: Dinamalar distances itself from Dinamalar-News 7's West TN surveys|date=4 May 2016|website=The News Minute|access-date=5 May 2016}}</ref> In an instance VVPAT was helpful in resolving an issue pertaining to a tally of votes in [[Kancheepuram (State Assembly Constituency)]] as the number of votes entered in the Form 17C of a polling booth and the total number of votes recorded in the [[Indian voting machines|EVM]] control unit of that booth did not tally.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/vvpat-saves-the-day/article8622987.ece|title=VVPAT saves the day}}</ref>

===Cash for votes===
Wide spread allegations of parties bribing voters with cash were raised and the Election commission responded by increasing the number of flying squads to conduct raids and prevent distribution of cash for votes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://nakkheeran.in/Users/frmNews.aspx?N=165671|title=வாக்காளர்களுக்கு பணம் கொடுக்க முயன்ற திமுக பிரமுகர் கைது|work=Nakkheeran|language=ta|date=15 May 2016|access-date=15 May 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160604025901/http://nakkheeran.in/Users/frmNews.aspx?N=165671|archive-date=4 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://nakkheeran.in/Users/frmNews.aspx?N=165669|title=வாக்காளர்களுக்கு பணம் பட்டுவாடா செய்ததாக திமுக பிரமுகர் கைது|work=Nakkheeran|language=ta|date=15 May 2016|access-date=15 May 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160604032742/http://nakkheeran.in/Users/frmNews.aspx?N=165669|archive-date=4 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://election.dinamalar.com/detail.php?id=10809|title=வாக்காளர்களுக்கு பணம் கொடுத்த ஏழு பேர் கைது|newspaper=[[Dinamalar]]|language=ta|date=15 May 2016|access-date=15 May 2016}}</ref> First time in the Indian history Rs 570 crores of three containers captured in Tirupur, no one claimed for that money at the first day. Later SBI claimed that money. Many parties like CPI(M), CPI, VCK, MDMK, PMK, wanted clear information about that money.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

===Postponement of polls===
The Election Commission postponed the polls in [[Aravakurichi (state assembly constituency)|Aravakurichi]] and [[Thanjavur (state assembly constituency)|Thanjavur]] constituencies due to reports of distribution of huge sums of money and alcohol to voters. The polling was initially postponed to 13 June, despite the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu]] requesting that it should happen before 1 June. The date was subsequently amended to November.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

==By-Election==
On 26 October 2016, the Election Commission announced that the election for [[Thiruparankundram]], Aravakurichi and Thanjavur constituencies would be held on 19 November 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/tamil-nadu/|title=Tamil Nadu (TN) Elections 2016 – Results, Cabinet Ministers and News Updates|website=www.elections.in|access-date=24 November 2016}}</ref> The outcome was:{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}
