Along with the notice, he also released a list of 149 affiliated clubs, districts and former men and women cricketers who are eligible to vote in the elections. Any club who wishes to change their representative for voting can do so on October 4, 5 and 7. The final list of the representatives will be declared on October 7.

The last elections for the HCA were held in September 2019 which was won by former Indian cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin and his panel. However, his term was over in September 2020 and elections were due since then.

However, the impasse over the HCA elections forced the Supreme Court to appoint a single-member panel of L Nageswar Rao to oversee the election process and conduct elections, in February this year.
