An assistant presiding officer died of heart attack while on poll duty in East Godavari district. Panchayat Raj Commissioner M Girija Shankar said the East Godavari district Collector has been asked to send a report on the APO's death, based on which ex-gratia would be paid to the deceased's family.

Already 579 sarpanch posts and 11,753 ward members posts were bagged unopposed in the elections conducted on an apolitical basis.
In Vizianagaram district, YSRC and TDP workers clashed inside a polling booth at Chowdavaram village over the issue of bringing in voters to the polling station.
Tension prevailed in the area as workers of the parties hurled chairs at each other in the presence of police and other officials.
