Counting of votes, declaration of results on November 7 for ZPTC, MPTC elections in A.P.
About 11,000 counting supervisors and 28,692 assistants/staff to participate in the process at 365 centres across the State; counting of postal ballots to be taken up first; nearly 20,000 police personnel deployed as part of three-layer security
The State Election Commission (SEC) has arranged for the counting of votes and declaration of results on November 7 for the Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTCs) and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (MPTCs) elections held in Andhra Pradesh (AP) on November 5. The TDP-led alliance has performed well in the recent Urban Local Body (ULB) elections, winning 10 Mayor seats and 2, while the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) secured only one Mayor seat and performed poorly in the elections to Municipalities and Nagar Panchayats.
The SEC had initially scheduled the polling for ZPTCs and MPTCs to take place on November 3, but due to changes in the ULB election schedule in accordance with Supreme Court orders, the dates were rescheduled to November 5 and November 7, respectively.
