September 08, Colombo (LNW): Deputy Postmaster General Rajitha Ranasinghe has announced that September 08, 2024 has been designated as a special day for distributing official polling cards, despite it being a weekend.
In a public statement, Ranasinghe emphasised that the Department of Posts is committed to delivering these cards directly to voters’ homes from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Citizens are being encouraged to remain at home to receive their polling cards, which require signatures to confirm receipt.
This measure aims to ensure that voters have their documents in hand well ahead of the upcoming presidential election. The Department of Posts has already successfully distributed around 3 million polling cards to date.
The process, which commenced on September 03, will continue until September 14. Officials are urging residents to be mindful of the delivery schedule to avoid any delays or missed opportunities to receive their official cards, which are critical for participation in the election.
