CEC, ECs In Andhra Tomorrow To Review LS Poll Preparations, TN Visit Later

The plan has been revised, and the poll panel will visit Tamil Nadu later to review the state's preparedness for the LS polls.

The chief election commissioner and the two election commissioners are set to visit Andhra Pradesh on Monday to conduct a review of the state's preparedness for the Lok Sabha polls, due in April-May, news agency PTI reported, citing officials. As per an earlier plan, the poll panel was to visit Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh from January 7 to 10.

According to PTI, the plan has been revised, and the poll panel will visit Tamil Nadu later to review the state's preparedness for the LS polls. The assembly elections in the state are likely to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls.

According to the officials, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar and Election Commissioners Anup Chandra Pandey and Arun Goel will be in Andhra Pradesh on January 8 evening, PTI reported. A team of deputy election commissioners and other senior officers has visited almost all the states to oversee the preparations for the Lok Sabha polls.

However, It is not yet certain whether they will visit all the states and Union territories. They may skip states where assembly polls were held recently. In 2019, the Lok Sabha elections were announced on March 10 and held in seven phases from April 11 to May 19. Votes were counted on May 23.
