Udaipur is governed locally by the Udaipur Municipal Council, which handles civic amenities, urban planning, and sanitation. As the headquarters of the Gomati District, the city also hosts the offices of the District Magistrate and Collector, making it a critical node for state government operations.
Politically, the city and its surrounding areas are represented in the Tripura Legislative Assembly through constituencies such as Radhakishorepur and Matabari, which in turn fall under the Tripura West Lok Sabha constituency for national representation.
