Agartala: Over 80 per cent voters exercised their franchise today for one of the two Lok Sabha seats - Tripura West - in the Left Front-ruled state as polling ended peacefully.
Election Commission sources said that the percentage might increase after final computation.
Chief Electoral Officer Ashutosh Jindal told reporters that Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) functioned well and in case of minor problems they were either changed or repaired.
The CPI(M) had won the seat ten out of 15 times between 1952 and 2009. Since 1996 the CPI(M) consistently won this seat.
Polling for the East Tripura (ST Reserve) seat would be held on April 12. There are two Lok Sabha seats in the state.
