October 01, Colombo (LNW): Applications for postal voting in Sri Lanka’s upcoming General Election, scheduled for November 14, are now being accepted.
The Election Commission announced that postal voting applications will be open until October 8, offering a week-long window for eligible voters to submit their requests.
This year’s election will use the 2024 certified voter list, which has now been made accessible across all electoral divisions.
To ensure convenience for postal voters, the Commission has arranged for these lists to be displayed at various public locations, including District and Divisional Secretariats, Grama Niladhari offices, and other selected venues.
In addition to being available at these physical locations, postal voting applications can be obtained free of charge from District Election Offices or downloaded from the Election Commission’s official website.
The Commission emphasised the importance of submitting applications on time, noting that all forms must be handed over to the relevant District Returning Officer by the October 8 deadline.
