Los residentes de algunas comunidades cerradas en Chennai y distritos vecinos pudieron ejercer su derecho al voto dentro de sus propias instalaciones durante las elecciones a la Asamblea del jueves. La medida tuvo como objetivo mejorar la comodidad de los votantes, beneficiando especialmente a los residentes mayores al reducir la necesidad de desplazarse. En Prince Village Phase II, en Tondiarpet, se establecieron dos mesas electorales en el salón de eventos, incluyendo una mesa ecológica para promover la conciencia ambiental. Los residentes acudieron en gran número a votar. No obstante, muchos residentes en los suburbios del sur informaron no haber contado con esta facilidad a pesar de haber enviado las solicitudes correspondientes. Se atribuye a esta iniciativa un aumento en la participación general en las comunidades participantes.
