Notes
  1. The members of the first assembly of Andhra Pradesh who were elected from the 1955 election in the Andhra state were allowed a seven-year term. That is to say in 1957, elections were conducted in the newly added region of Telangana alone and then in 1962 general elections were held for the state as a whole.[6]
