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 Rajya 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]
