Elections in Tripura
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 Rayja 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 Council was enlarged to 60 members as a result of Tripura attaining statehood.[3]
