First-time voters made their demands known, calling for responsible government and decisive action on urgent social challenges. “I’m thrilled to use my right to vote for the first time,” said Sathwika, a Tirupati city newbie voter. Policies that put the development of jobs, women’s safety, and sector-wide changes first are what we need. We anticipate that leaders will keep the pledges they made throughout their campaign,” she said.

I made my decision on my own, free from any interference.
Most first-time voters were patient as they waited in line at voting places throughout the day, especially in cities like Tirupati, Nellore, Atmakur, Kavali, and Sullurpeta.
Anshu Mallika, a first-time voter who expressed her thankfulness for the democratic right to participate in the election process, is the daughter of YSRC Nagari contestant RK Roja.
