The Andhra Pradesh State Election Commission on Tuesday reviewed the impact of the cyclone on the ongoing local body election process, even as polling for MPTC and ZPTC seats began across the state. Around 2.61 crore voters are eligible to vote at 31,460 polling stations.
According to SEC official R. R. Punetha, decisions on whether polling will continue in cyclone-hit areas will be taken on the basis of ground-level reports. The commission is monitoring the situation closely in affected regions.
The polls are being held amid weather-related disruption concerns in some parts of the state. Further announcements on polling arrangements are expected after local assessments are completed.
