District Election Officer and Deputy Commissioner B. Susheela has introduced theme-based polling stations to attract voters and increase polling percentage in Yadgir district.
Yadgir district has four Assembly constituencies: Gurmitkal, Yadgir, Shahapur and Surpur. Gurmitkal falls in the Kalaburagi (Gulbarga) Lok Sabha Constituency, while the other three come under Raichur Lok Sabha Constituency.
Surpur Assembly Constituency is facing byelections along with the general elections on May 7. The byelections have been necessitated due to the recent demise of Congress MLA Raja Venkatappa Naik.
