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). 

The current outgoing Managing Committee consists of Nasser (President), Ponvannan (Vice President), Karunas (Vice President), Vishal (General Secretary), and Karthi (Treasurer). 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.
