Chennai, Apr 7:
In a notable development ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026, actor-turned-politician Vijay has captured widespread public attention, with his election affidavit being downloaded more than 3.20 lakh times.
The affidavit, submitted through his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), contains detailed disclosures regarding his assets, liabilities, and personal background. The document, made available online, has emerged as one of the most accessed candidate affidavits in the state so far.
The surge in downloads reflects a growing curiosity among voters and signals an increasing emphasis on transparency in the electoral process. Political observers note that voters are now actively seeking verified information about candidates, rather than relying solely on campaign narratives.
The development also underlines the rising role of digital engagement in elections, with online platforms becoming key tools for public awareness and participation. As the campaign gains momentum, such trends indicate a shift towards more informed and data-driven voting behaviour in Tamil Nadu.
