An official of the Election Commission said the commission had asked the officials to make all arrangements as the elections could take place anytime.
The electoral roles were under preparation and the voter-identity cards were distributed to those who had registered their name recently.
The voting machines were being checked by the representatives of a private company to find errors in the machines. The machines had been kept in the strongroom at the mini Vidhana Soudha after the completion of the last Assembly by-election.
The officials said the software and the voting machines were checked. The experts had to check thousands of such machines manually to find errors in them, he said.
Hundreds of machines that had been kept closed for more than four years had been rendered unserviceable.
The software of some machines would have to be reinstalled, the sources said. The voting machines would be kept in working condition to meet the eventuality of an early poll, the sources said.
