Election Observer S. Nagalakshmi inspected the postal ballot centre set up at P.B. Siddhartha Arts and Science College in Mogalrajpuram, Vijayawada, on Thursday (October 29, 2026).

During the inspection, she reviewed the arrangements made to facilitate election personnel in exercising their voting rights through postal ballots. The facility is available on Friday (October 30) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

She said the election personnel, who are registered voters in Vijayawada city and are assigned election duties on polling day, should make use of the postal ballot facility.

Since October 30 is the last date for voting by postal ballot, eligible election personnel who have not yet voted were urged to make use of the opportunity.
