Prakasam Collector urges officials to prepare list of polling stations ahead of local body polls
In preparation for the upcoming local body elections, Prakasam District Collector P. Raja Babu has instructed officials to compile a list of polling stations for the 62 divisions within the Ongole Municipal Corporation limits, following the delimitation process. The district, currently comprising 50 divisions, will see an increase in the number of wards in several areas due to the delimitation, such as Kandukur, Chimakurthi, Darsi, and Addanki.
To accommodate these changes, the Collector urged officials to provide additional ballot boxes, appoint necessary Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant EROs, and release the draft voters list by September 3. The Collector emphasized the need for a door-to-door survey to ensure the inclusion of Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Backward Class (BC) voters, with the verification process scheduled from August 29 to September 6.
The final list of SC, ST, and BC voters will be released on September 7, with the public regularly updated on these developments.
