The total number of nominations filed so far reached 52. The bypolls in the 12 seats are necessitated as the sitting MLAs had quit their posts in support of separate Telangana. The CEO said the Election Commission is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that complete transparency is maintained in using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Meanwhile, TRS today said it has filed a petition in the High Court seeking a re-look into using EVMs. The EVMs to be used in the bypolls are being checked in the presence of representatives of political parties for three days from yesterday to ensure transparency, the CEO said.
