The Election Commission of India (ECI) issued the notification for polling to fill up the two vacant seats in the TS Legislative Council on Thursday. The election will be held on January 29 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The election under the MLAs quota has been necessitated as sitting members Kadiyam Srihari and Padi Kaushik Reddy submitted their resignations on December 9, after they were elected as MLAs in the Assembly elections last year.
The last date of filing nominations is January 18 and scrutiny of the nominations would be held the next day. The last date for withdrawal of nominations is January 22. Counting of votes will be held on January 29 itself. The ECI directed that the election process should be completed before February 1.
