The Election Commission has begun printing ballots for Tripura's Village Council elections, with poll duty personnel scheduled to cast their votes on September 22‑23.
The Election Commission of India has initiated the printing of ballot papers for the upcoming Village Council (VC) elections in Tripura. The printing process, which began this week, marks a critical step toward conducting the polls later in the month.
Poll duty personnel, who are normally tasked with managing polling stations, have been cleared to exercise their franchise on September 22 and 23. This arrangement ensures that those overseeing the election can also participate as voters without compromising their duties.
The VC elections are slated for the latter half of September, and the timely availability of printed ballots is essential for a smooth electoral exercise. Authorities have confirmed that all logistical arrangements, including distribution of the ballots to polling stations across the state, will be completed ahead of the voting dates.
Election officials have urged voters to stay informed about polling locations and to adhere to the schedule once voting commences. The move reflects the commission's commitment to transparent and orderly elections in the northeastern state.
