Abstract: Every equivelar abstract polytope of type $p_1,ldots,p_{n-1}$ has at least $2p_{1}cdots{p}_{n-1}$ flags. Polytopes that attain this lower bound are called tight. Here we investigate the question of under what conditions there is a tight orientably-regular polytope of type $p_1,ldots,p_{n-1}$. We show that it is necessary and sufficient that whenever $p_i$ is odd, both $p_{i-1}$ and $p_{i+1}$ are even divisors of $2p_i$.
