November 03, Colombo (LNW): The Department of Posts has designated today (03) as a priority day for the distribution of official ballot papers for Sri Lanka’s upcoming 2024 General Election.

Deputy Postmaster General Rajitha Ranasinghe confirmed that the initiative will see distribution carried out from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. across the country.

Ranasinghe detailed that over 8,000 postal employees, supported by 2,090 post offices, are engaged solely in delivering official ballots on this day.

This one-day mobilisation effort underscores the Postal Department’s commitment to ensuring the timely and secure arrival of election materials ahead of voting day.

The ballot distribution will continue with door-to-door service through 7 November. For those who have not received their ballot by then, arrangements have been made for voters to collect it directly from their local post office.

In such cases, voters need only verify their identity with the postmaster during office hours to receive their ballot.
