The vendors should produce documents such as Aadhaar card, bank pass book, driving licence, voter ID card or ration card during the survey.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4.
