Andhra Pradesh has initiated preparations for elections to Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies (PACS), with the State Cooperation Department directing district officials to begin groundwork without waiting for the formal election notification, media outlets say.
Officials have been asked to prepare society-wise voter lists, identify polling stations and make arrangements for conducting the elections in a single phase. District Cooperative Officers have been instructed to start the process immediately, with the government warning that delays or negligence will be taken seriously.
The move comes as the state government works to complete pending local body elections, aiming to wrap up the remaining municipal and cooperative society polls before the end of 2026.
