Poll schedule for Tripura village committee elections to be announced
Elections will be held at 587 village committees; draft electoral rolls for the village committees were recently published by the State Election Commission
The State Election Commission has decided to hold long-pending elections to village committees in areas under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). The poll schedule will be announced on August 31, 2026. The announcement will be made during a press conference, with State Election Commissioner Pradip Kumar Chakraborty addressing the media.
Tribal parties and forums have been demanding these elections, with one High Court petition supporting the cause. Both Tipra Motha, currently leading the TTAADC, and Opposition parties have criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for delaying the election process.
