He stated that in the last five years, 2.40 lakh new voters have been enlisted in the electoral registers, which reflects a 9% overall growth in the electorate.
The 80,000 new voters who were added to the electoral rolls before the state assembly elections were included in this. This explains a 2.91 percent rise in the state’s eligible voters in Tripura.
The top official also provided details on the complex security measures put in place before the elections and the specific initiatives that were started to reduce violence and enhance voter participation in elections.
