September 12, Colombo (LNW): The final day of postal voting for Sri Lanka’s 2024 Presidential Election is today (12), bringing an end to the extended voting period.
Government employees who were unable to cast their postal votes during the initial phase, which took place on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of September, were granted an additional opportunity to do so yesterday and today, ensuring no eligible voter was left behind.
The extended period was introduced to accommodate those with conflicting work schedules or other unforeseen circumstances, demonstrating the government’s commitment to an inclusive and accessible voting process.
This year’s postal voting covered a wide array of public sector workers, whose participation is crucial given the size and influence of this voter base.
As the postal voting comes to a close, the Election Commission is now preparing for the next stages of the electoral process, leading up to the main election day.
