The elections are an important contest between the ruling NDA coalition, comprising the Telugu Desam Party, Jana Sena Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party, and the Opposition Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), often shortened to simply the YSR Congress Party.
The NDA nominees are leading in almost all municipal corporations and a majority of municipalities in the state.
The NDA is expected to win more than 90% of the wards/divisions in urban civic bodies.
The state's civic poll is being seen as a political test for the NDA led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
The result of the civic polls is also expected to offer an indication of the YSR Congress Party's popularity in the state's urban areas.
