Bru voters in Mizoram to cast votes on April 14 and 15

Aizawl , Apr 11 Bru voters in North Tripura district would cast their votes through postal ballots in their relief camps on April 14 and 15 for the lone Mizoram Parliamentary seat, for which the rest of the state would vote on April 16, election officials said here today.

Bru refugees are the only people, besides defence personnel and polling officials, permitted to cast their votes through postal ballots.

A 50-strong polling party would leave Aizawl tomorrow for the six relief camps in the district to conduct polls, state Joint Chief Electoral Officer Lalhmingthanga told PTI.

Hoping that the 4,682 Bru voters would complete the polling exercise during the two days, he informed that the security arrangements at the relief camps would be made by the District Magistrate.

Bru voters had earlier exercised their franchise through postal ballots in the December assembly polls.
