Final preparations are underway for the Jubilee Hills by-election polling scheduled for tomorrow. Election staff collected EVMs and other polling materials from the Distribution, Reception, and Counting (DRC) Centre set up at Kotla Vijayabhaskar Reddy Stadium in Yousufguda. Officials are expected to reach their assigned polling stations with all materials by this evening.
The polling will begin at 7 a.m. on Thursday. District Election Officer R.V. Karnan personally inspected the EVM distribution process earlier today. He stated that strict security arrangements have been made to prevent any untoward incidents. Each candidate has been issued one polling agent pass for fair conduct of the election.
After polling, all EVMs will be brought back to the stadium for secure storage and counting. West Zone DCP Chintamneni Srinivas will oversee a three-tier security system with round-the-clock surveillance around the venue.
Meanwhile, major political parties are focusing on poll management from their respective war rooms. They are issuing continuous instructions to ground-level leaders to ensure favorable voter turnout. A total of 58 candidates will have their fate decided by Jubilee Hills voters tomorrow.
