Agartala: The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections recorded an 83.52% voter turnout, the State Election Commission (SEC) said, even as sporadic clashes and allegations of irregularities were reported from parts of the state. Election officials also ordered a re-poll at one booth, the report said.
The SEC released the final turnout figure after counting and verification, noting that voting levels remained high overall despite local disturbances. The commission did not provide further immediate details about the locations or scale of the clashes in its statement.
Compared with the previous TTAADC polls held in 2021, the SEC indicated that turnout has fallen, though the report excerpt provided here does not specify the exact magnitude of the decline. Election observers and local media had earlier flagged isolated incidents of disorder and procedural complaints during polling.
Authorities said a re-poll was necessary at one booth; the reasons cited in the available report were linked to irregularity allegations, but precise circumstances and the timing of the re-poll were not detailed. State and local officials are expected to release fuller information as investigations continue.
The high overall turnout — despite reports of clashes and the re-poll — highlights sustained voter engagement in Tripura’s tribal council elections. Further updates and official explanations from the SEC and district authorities will clarify the incidents and their impact on final results.
