District Collector and District Election Authority S. Suresh Kumar on Tuesday asked the returning officers of various constituencies to identify polling centres which have recorded more than 85 per cent of polling in the previous elections.
He also sought information about polling centres in which a single political party had secured more than 75 per cent majority.
Mr. Suresh Kumar was addressing a meeting of returning officers in his office to review the arrangements for the general elections.
He asked the returning officers to inspect each polling station thoroughly and note the requirements.
The district is gearing up to face a series of elections beginning from Municipal polls on March 30, to be followed by polls to ZPTC and MPTCs in April and finally the general elections on May 7.
