Elections in Tripura
Political elections for public offices in Tripura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections in Tripura have been conducted since 1952.
For the first Indian general election of 1951-52, voters in Tripura directly elected two members of the Lok Sabha and elected 30 members of an Electoral College which subsequently convened to elect a single member for the Rajya Sabha.[1]
For elections in 1957 and 1962, voters in Tripura elected 30 members to a Territorial Council (with an extra two members appointed).[2] In 1963 the Territorial Council was dissolved and the members transferred to a newly created Legislative Assembly.[3] The first elections to the Legislative Assembly occurred in 1967.[2] In March 1972, the Legislative Assembly was enlarged to 60 members as a result of Tripura attaining statehood.[3]
