What happened
The Andhra Pradesh State Election Commissioner announced the election schedule for Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, and Gram Panchayats across various regions on October 14, 2026. With this announcement, the Model Code of Conduct came into force, which prohibits the government from launching new welfare schemes or development projects. The election process is scheduled to conclude by December 2, 2026, and the notification covered 100 Urban Local Bodies, including Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation and civic bodies in Kadapa and Eluru.

Why it matters
The implementation of the Model Code of Conduct halts the launch of new government welfare schemes and development projects across the state of Andhra Pradesh. This regulatory action restricts the state's ability to fund and launch new infrastructure projects and prevents the cabinet from approving new development projects.
The Election Commission is currently tasked with updating voter rolls specifically for upcoming Urban Local Body elections.
