September 17, Colombo (LNW): In a bid to ensure transparency and fairness in the upcoming presidential election, the Election Commission’s Dispute Resolution Unit has introduced a series of dedicated telephone numbers for the public to report any violations of election laws or related disputes.
These hotlines are part of an effort to maintain the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that the polling on Saturday (21) is conducted without any illegal interference.
The Election Commission is encouraging citizens to use these lines to report any suspicious or unlawful activities they may witness during the voting process.
Whether it’s instances of voter intimidation, improper campaigning, or any other breach of election regulations, the public can now directly inform the authorities.
By providing these hotlines, the Commission seeks to empower voters and uphold democratic values, fostering a secure and transparent environment for the election.
The specialised unit has been established at the General Election Secretariat in Rajagiriya, and its staff are prepared to respond to calls from the public promptly.
This initiative also aims to reassure voters that their right to participate in a fair electoral process is being actively protected.
By establishing a direct communication channel, the Election Commission provides a means for citizens to engage in safeguarding the democratic process.
