A total of 71.87 per cent of Tamil Nadu's 5.8 crore voters in 38 Lok Sabha constituencies voted in the general elections held on Thursday, a senior Election Commission (EC) official said on Friday.

Sahoo said the Dharmapuri constituency registered the highest polling with 80.49 per cent while the lowest was recorded in the Chennai South seat with 56.41 per cent.
