Tirupati Ward Reservation 2026
The 66 wards have different reservation categories, including Unreserved (UR), Backward Classes (BC), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Women and women-specific reserved categories. The reservation category determines candidate eligibility for the respective ward.
The ward delimitation notification was published in September 2026. The ward boundaries were redrawn, increasing the number of wards from 50 in 2021 to 66 in 2026. As a result, the old ward numbers cannot be directly matched with the new ward numbers.
Voters and candidates should use the current ward delimitation and reservation notification rather than relying on the 2021 ward map.
Tirupati Voter Turnout 2026 – Ward Wise Voting Percentage
The reported electoral roll includes 2,90,492 voters: 1,43,292 men, 1,47,171 women and 29 voters in the other category. The State Election Commission turnout schedule provides cumulative polling updates at 9 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM and 5 PM.
The live turnout tracker had not displayed polling-slot percentages at the time of the available page capture. Therefore, no estimated or unverified polling percentage is shown here. The final turnout should be added after the official close-of-poll figure is published.
