The State Election Commission (SEC) is geared up to conduct elections to 100 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), comprising 13 Municipal Corporations and 87 Municipalities and Nagar Panchayats, on November 1. Polling was originally scheduled for October 28 but was deferred following directions from the Supreme Court after violent incidents prevented several candidates from filing their nominations. As part of seat adjustments, the Mayoral posts of the Greater Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada Municipal Corporations were allotted to the TDP and Jana Sena Party, respectively.
