But the megastar of south, Rajinikanth, will not be casting his vote and he cited the reason behind it on Twitter. He said, “I am currently shooting in Mumbai. I received my postal vote for the Nadigar Sangam elections only at 6:45pm this evening, despite the efforts I took to receive it earlier. I regret that I was unable to cast my vote because of this delay. It is strange and unfortunate. This should not have happened…” If you haven’t seen the pictures and videos of the celebs, check them out now.

The Nadigar Sangam Elections 2019 is supervised by Justice Padhmanaban. The security has been beefed up at the venue. It was in 2015 when the election was last held but since the then-winner actor Vishal and his team Pandavar Ani got an extension, the election was pushed by a year. The Nandigar Sangam election is supposed to be held every three years.
