The Election Commission has issued a circular inviting applications for postal voting following the announcement of the upcoming presidential election. Voters are reminded to ensure their postal voting applications are submitted to the district election office corresponding to the district mentioned on their voter registration list. These applications must be certified by the certifying officer of their respective institutions, as indicated on the Election Commission’s official website.
The Commission has addressed false information circulating on social media regarding an extension of the postal voting application deadline. It has confirmed that such reports are entirely untrue, emphasizing that the acceptance of postal voting applications concludes today without any possibility of postponement.
For further information, postal vote applicants and other voters are advised to visit the Election Commission’s official website at https://www.elections.gov.lk/.
In related developments, the heads of media organizations have been summoned to the Election Commission office in Rajagiriya today for discussions concerning the upcoming presidential election. This meeting follows a special discussion held last Saturday, during which all District Election Officers were also in attendance.
