It was recently announced that The South Indian Film Artistes Association will hold polls on June 23 to elect office bearers for the 2019-2022 period. To facilitate maximum voting without hassles, the Nadigar Sangam has requested the Producers' Union, FEFSI, Film Chamber of Commerce, and Television artistes association to declare a holiday on June 23 (Sunday). 

The elections, presided by retired Justice E Padmanabhan, are to take place in Chennai at Sathya Studios (Dr MGR Janaki Arts and Science College) between 7 am and 5 pm. Members of the association will be voting for the President (1), Vice-President (2), General Secretary (1), Treasurer (1), and the Executive Committee (24).

Though a lot of names like actors Simbu, Udhaya, RK Suresh, actor-producer Isari K Ganesh, are doing the rounds, the final list of contestants is yet to be declared.
