Nomination period for LG Polls closes as objection deadline approaches

Date:

March 20, Colombo (LNW): The official acceptance of nominations for the much-anticipated Local Government Elections has now closed, marking a significant step towards finalising candidates for the upcoming polls.

With the nomination period for 336 Local Government institutions concluding, the next critical deadline looms: objections to the nominations must be submitted by 1:30 p.m. today (20).

The nomination process, which began on March 17, has now come to a close, and the Election Commission is expected to announce the election date once the objection period ends and the necessary verifications are completed.

In addition to the nominations, the deadline for submitting election deposits, which was an essential part of the nomination procedure, has already passed as of yesterday (19).
