January 02, Colombo (LNW): The process of transferring information regarding candidates who failed to submit their required income and expenditure reports for the 2024 parliamentary elections to the police has officially begun.
This action follows the completion of initial investigations into the non-compliance with electoral regulations.
R.M.A.L. Rathnayake, the Chairman of the National Election Commission (NEC), confirmed that the procedure is being carried out at the district level.
He explained that the district returning officers are responsible for handing over the relevant files to the police, marking the next step in ensuring accountability for election-related breaches.
These reports concern candidates who did not submit the necessary financial documentation as required by the election laws, an important aspect of maintaining transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
As part of the legal proceedings, the Deputy Inspector General of Police for each province will oversee the investigation and take further action where necessary, ensuring that violations are addressed in accordance with the law.
