The party has fielded a mix of political figures, professionals, and first-time candidates across regions. On April 19, Vijay announced that the party would support independent candidate K. Premkumar in Edappadi after TVK's official nominee's candidature was rejected during scrutiny. He urged voters in the constituency to back Premkumar under the 'Television' symbol.

With polling set to begin on April 23, attention now turns to voter turnout and the counting of votes scheduled for May 4. The outcome will determine TVK's performance in its first Assembly election since its formation.
