74% POLLING IN TRIPURA ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS

The total voter turnout stood at 74 per cent in the single-phase Tripura assembly polls on Sunday, 17 per cent less than the last assembly election when the polling percentage was recorded at 91.82. Voting was today held in 59 of the total 60 seats as polling could not be held in the Charilam constituency due to the death of CPM candidate Ramendra Narayan Deb Barma last week. The constituency will go to polls on March 12.

According to the figures released by the Election Commission, the voter turnout stood at 74 per cent.
