The city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India, is managed by the Corporation of Chennai. Established as Madras Corporation in 1688, it is the oldest municipal body in India.[1][2][3] It is headed by a mayor, who presides over 200 councillors each of whom represents a ward. The current mayor of Chennai was elected on 4 March 2022.
The expanded city contains 4.41 million voters and was re-organised into 15 zones consisting of 200 wards.[5] The newly annexed areas were divided into 93 wards, and the remaining 107 wards were created out of the original 155 within the old city limits.[6] As of September 2011[update], the new wards are yet to be named.[5] Out of the 200 wards, 26 were reserved for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and 58 were reserved for women.[6]
