The enrolled Bru voters, who originally hailed from Mizoram, are living in Tripura since 1997, and were settled permanently in the neighbouring state in accordance with the quadripartite agreement signed in January 2020.
Mizoram joint Chief Electoral Officer David Liansanglura Pachuau said that the names of 1,594 Bru voters from nine assembly constituencies out of 5,600 have been removed from Mizoram electoral roll so far as per the corresponding deletion requests received from the Tripura election department.
