A constituency is not a taluk
Constituencies, taluks and local bodies such as municipalities and panchayats are different areas. They may share the same name but have different boundaries. Use official voter records to find the correct constituency for an address.
The district election page has official information. Always check the date and election year because boundaries and details can change.
