Voting in two seats - Rajarajeshwari (RR) Nagar and Jayanagar - was deferred by the Election Commission. In RR Nagar, the polls were countermanded after the seizure of over 9,000 fake voter ID cards and two steel trunk full of fake voter ID slips. The election would be held on May 28. In Jayanagar, the death of incumbent MLA and BJP candidate BN Vijayakumar necessitated the cancellation of polls. The rescheduled date of election has not been announced.
