The state election department on Friday Mar 21, 2014 issued notification of tender for printing voter slips for all sixty assembly constituency segments under two parliament constituencies of the state. An approximate figure of six lakh single side printed voter slips would be printed as a part of the technical preparation of the forthcoming Lok Sabha election in Tripura, the notification from election department said.

The notification today said that all printed voter slips should be delivered within five days from the issuance of supply order from the Department. Selected vendors are required to depute its technical manpower for generation of PDF documents of the voter slips at the office of the Chief Electoral Officer alongwith delivery of the printed material, the document added.
