Background

Except for a one term period of Congress government between 1988 and 1993, the CPI(M) was the dominant governing party in the state since 1978.

The previous elections to the 9th Tripura Legislative Assembly was held in 2003 and the term for this Assembly was set to expire on 19 March 2008. The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced fresh elections for the 10th Tripura Legislative Assembly on 14 January 2008. Of the 60 constituencies for the 2008 election, 20 were reserved for Scheduled Tribes and seven reserved for Scheduled Castes. Elections in all polling stations were held using electronic voting machines.

The CPI(M), headed by Manik Sarkar, had formed the Government in the 9th Tripura Assembly after being re-elected in 2003. The Left Front had won 41 of the 60 seats.{{cite web|title=Statistical Report on General Election, 2003 to the Legislative Assembly of Tripura|url=http://www.eci.gov.in/StatisticalReports/SE_Feb_2003/StatReport2003_TP.pdf|url-status=dead|website=eci.gov.in|publisher=Election Commission of India|accessdate=2008-12-18|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050529125908/http://www.eci.gov.in/StatisticalReports/SE_Feb_2003/StatReport2003_TP.pdf|archivedate=2005-05-29}}

Election Day

Election Day (23 Feb 2008) was peaceful and passed without any incidents of violence in this state that has traditionally faced insurgency from militant outfits. Unprecedented security arrangements were in place for this election - 20,000 paramilitary personnel from the Border Security Force, Indo-Tibetan Border Police and Central Reserve Police Force supported by air surveillance.{{Cite web|url=https://topnews.in/tripura-cm-says-polling-peaceful-women-voters-coming-out-large-numbers-221869|title=Tripura CM says polling peaceful, women voters coming out in large numbers | TopNews|website=topnews.in}}

Voter turnout across the state was over 90%, a record high for any state in India. This beat the previous record of around 86% set in Sikkim during the Assembly Elections in 2002.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/news/2008/feb/25trip.htm|title=Tripura sets record for maximum voter turnout|website=www.rediff.com}}{{cite web|title=Tripura Assembly Election 2008 - Voter turn out in %|url=http://www.tripurainfo.com/election/per230208.htm|url-status=dead|website=tripurainfo.com|accessdate=2008-12-18|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080808121800/http://www.tripurainfo.com/election/per230208.htm|archivedate=2008-08-08}}
