Postal voting for LG polls postponed indefinitely

The postal voting for the 2023 local government election has been postponed until further notice, Election Commissioner General Saman Sri Rathnayake announced today.

He said the postal voting for the local government election was scheduled to begin tomorrow at 1,116 centers.

The local government election is scheduled to be held on March 9.

The decision was made as ballot papers for postal ballots were not available due to unavoidable reasons beyond the control of the Commission. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
