New Delhi: The Election Commission on Tuesday announced postponing voting in the Tripura (East) Lok Sabha seat to the third phase on April 23 from April 18, saying the prevailing law-and-order situation there is not conducive for holding free and fair poll.
Citing reports of state chief electoral officer and special police observer, the poll panel said, “The law and order situation prevailing … is not conducive to the holding of free and fair poll.”
Polling will now be held on April 23 (Tuesday) by which time the law-and-order situation in the constituency would improve and become “conducive to the holding of free and fair election”, the EC said.
