The State of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has 175 constituencies out of which 29 constituencies are reserved for Scheduled Castes candidates and 7 constituencies are reserved for Scheduled Tribes candidates. The 13 districts are Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Vishakapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam, Nellore, YSR Kadapa district, Kurnool, Anantapur, and Chittoor.



Below are the list of constituencies of Andhra Pradesh Legislative assembly with their elected MLA's and their respective political parties.

Srikakulam



Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and Vishakhapatnam in the northern coastal AP, are blessed with fresh water bodies in abundance. Srikakulam also tops in e-governance as recently Joint Collector JC KVN Chakradhara Babu received the best award in e-governance from Union Minister for State for Atomic Energy Dr. Jitendra Singh. 


Vizianagaram



Vizianagaram is one of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. Congress has always been a dominant force in Vizianagaram. But in 2014, TDP pulled off a win. The battle is again expected between TDP and Congress. 


Vishakapatnam

Food adulteration is one of the major problems faced in Vishakapatnam. Then comes the cleanliness aspect as even in hotels we can see many unclean counters, food leftovers, dirty water, so on. So far, this issue has not been addressed or solved. In terms of business, Saint-Gobain recently announced that it is setting up a glass unit in Vizag at a cost of Rs.2000 Crores. Now, we hear from officials that 4052 polling stations will be set up in Vishakapatnam district for the upcoming LS elections.


East and West Godavari

A total of 46 candidates are in the fray for Godavari districts for the upcoming elections. On the whole, we have 1,70,913 voters in East Godavari district and 1,19,867 voters in West Godavari district. Wildlife has always been a major concern as even recently a Leopard was traced at Ubalanka Village. The forest department caught two criminals who were involved in the skin trade of wild animals. For the upcoming LS elections, 3411 polling centers are set up in West Godavari district.


Krishna and Guntur

As per data, 362 polling booths have been set up in Krishna and Guntur. 153 will be in Krishna and 209 will be in Guntur. TDP President and Chief Minister CBN have already set a target of winning all the Assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats in Krishna district after completing a review meeting with party members. It should be noted that TDP lost two of 16 Assembly seats in the 2014 elections. The District collector in Krishna confirmed that all the polling stations in Krishna were linked to Google map. Road safety has been a major concern in Krishna as in past one week there have been 4015 road safety violations. This has been worse in Guntur as more than 10000 were booked for rash driving in just 6 months span.


Prakasam and Nellore

TDP President CBN has given green signal to most of the MLA's to address people's grievances and directed them to work in the path of victory. At the same time, YSR Jagan conducted his 4th Samara Sankharavam in Nellore recently. YSR is also getting good attention and will give a head-on-head battle with other parties. Pawan Kalyan is also resting hopes with Nellore and he is yet to give clarity regarding his Janasena.


YSR Kadapa and Kurnool

TDP minister Adinarayana from YSR Kadapa in a state of shock as his key aides joined YSR party. Most of them who supported TDP leaders have now joined YSRCP. TDP leaders Kotla Harshavardhan Reddy from Kurnool, Meda Mallikarjuna Reddy from Rajampet have joined YSRCP party. YSRCP has a clear edge than other parties in YSRCP Kadapa. At the same time, TDP believes that the coming together of Kotla and KE families will change TDP's fortunes in Kurnool. 


Anantapur and Chittoor


Anantapur is located in an economically backward region. Even though TDP has given a tough competition it has always been Congress Fort. TDP even managed to win in 2014 Lok Sabha election when JC Diwakar Reddy defeated Anantha Venkatarami Reddy of YSRCP pushing Congress' Anil Choudhary to the third spot. This Diwakar Reddy grabbed headlines for his unruly behavior at the Airport and now he has made way for his son Pavan Kumar Reddy. The 500-Year-Old Madakasira fort still cries for attention. Many structures have been already damaged. In Chittoor, the battle is expected to be even harder.
