Andhra Pradesh conducts its Lok Sabha (national) and Assembly (state) elections simultaneously, unlike most other states in India. This practice dates back to the early years after India's independence when all elections across the country were held concurrently. However, this changed in 1967 due to the possibility of either the Lok Sabha or state assemblies being dissolved before their full terms, leading to misalignment in election schedules.

Since then, frequent dissolutions of both the Lok Sabha and state assemblies have resulted in elections being held almost every few months, causing logistical challenges and administrative burdens. Presently, only four states, including Andhra Pradesh, continue to hold simultaneous elections with the Lok Sabha, maintaining a coordinated electoral process at both the national and state levels.

In the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Assembly Election, the YSRCP secured a huge victory with 151 seats, making YS Jagan Mohan Reddy the Chief Minister. The TDP only won 23 seats. The JSP won one seat, and the BJP and Congress won none. In the 2014 election, the TDP, in alliance with the BJP, won 106 seats (TDP 102 and BJP 4), while the YSRCP won 67 seats.

YSRCP, led by CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, campaigned vigorously this year. The BJP held rallies riding on PM Narendra Modi's popularity, alongside TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi also actively campaigned.

The YSRCP highlighted their welfare initiatives over the past five years, while the NDA criticised the state government's performance and promised job creation and other benefits if elected.

Exit polls for the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections predict major victories for the BJP and TDP-led NDA alliance. The NDA is expected to win between 111 and 135 seats. In contrast, the YSRCP is projected to secure only 45 to 60 seats. Some polls even predict up to 161 seats for the NDA and just 14 for the YSRCP in the 175-seat assembly.

In the NDA's seat-sharing deal, Chandrababu Naidu's TDP was given 144 seats, the BJP got 10 seats, and Jana Sena contested 21 seats.
