Guntur: Citizens should be vigilant and help the administration in conducting free and fair elections, said Gopalakrishna Dwivedi, AP Chief Electoral Officer. He released a pamphlet prepared by AP Election Watch at Secretariat on Friday.

The Election Commission needs people's support for holding elections successfully. People have to download cVIGIL app and bring the violations of election code to the notice of EC. They can also use the toll-free number 1950 for all queries relating to elections and for making complaints.

Election Watch State Coordinator Dr PC Sai Babu said that EC has fixed Rs 28 lakh for Assembly candidates and Rs 70 lakh for Parliamentary contestants as election expenditure. Other coordinators M Nageswara Rao and J Krishna Kishore were present.
