August 22, Colombo (LNW): The Postal Department has designated Sunday, 8th September, as a special day for distributing polling cards for the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election.
Despite the date being a public holiday, Deputy Postmaster General D.A. Rajitha K. Ranasinghe confirmed that official polling cards will be delivered from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The department encourages residents to be at home during this period to receive their cards. The final date for distributing these cards is set for 14th September, as announced by the Election Commission.
After this deadline, door-to-door distribution will cease. However, voters who miss the delivery can still collect their polling cards from local post offices until election day, provided they present valid identification.
This effort aims to ensure that all eligible voters receive their cards promptly, enabling smooth participation in the election process.
