Kerala's Chief Electoral Officer Tikkaram Meena has submitted a report to the Election Commission, recommending that the Kerala Assembly election be held by early or middle of April. Meena while speaking to IANS said "The conduct of elections before the middle of April will be ideal as the holy Ramzan month commences by mid-April till May. Also, CBSE board exams are on May 4 and we will have a shortage of schools which are used as polling stations".

A team of EC officials will reach the state shortly and hold meetings with representatives of political parties, officials and others regarding the conduct of polls. There are possibilities of a two-phase poll and EC officials will be seeking extensive feedback from the stakeholders including political parties and arrive at a decision, a senior official said.

Kerala has earlier witnessed single-phase Assembly polls with the deployment of central forces in sensitive areas of Kasargod, Kannur, Kozhikode and some parts of Thrissur and Malappuram districts.

There are possibilities of the deployment of central forces in these sensitive districts.
