Agartala: The State Election Commission has ordered repolling at two polling stations under the 10-Kulai-Champhahour (ST) constituency of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections, following reports of irregularities during voting.
According to an official press release issued by the Commission, the decision pertains to polling stations at 3-Bhatimaydan SB School and 17-Ramdeb Thakur Para. The Commission took note of certain incidents that allegedly took place during the polling process at these locations.
Reports submitted by the District Election Officer, the Returning Officer and other officials engaged in the electoral process highlighted procedural lapses and irregularities, prompting the Commission to take action. Based on these findings, the State Election Commissioner declared the polling process at the affected booths as void.
Fresh polling will now be conducted at the two stations on April 16, 2026, between 7 am and 4 pm, the release stated.
