An adequate police force is deployed for the conduct of elections without any untoward incidents.

Earlier, the election was postponed citing the COVID conditions as the reason.

The State Election Commission (SEC) has announced that the election will be conducted on April 8 and counting would be conducted on April 10.

However political parties JanaSena Party (JSP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have filed petitions in the High Court demanding fresh notification and fresh dates of the election with at least 4 weeks gap for model code of conduct.

The High Court on April 6 issued interim orders staying the elections. The SEC and state government have filed the petition in the division bench of the High Court against the stay order.

The High Court division bench on April 7 quashed the stay order, allowed for conduct of the election but ordered not to hold counting of votes until further orders.
