The Election Commission (EC) today announced that the deadline for submitting postal voting applications for the 2024 parliamentary election has been extended until midnight on October 10.
The earlier deadline to submit postal voting applications for the election was midnight today (8).
The EC stated that the decision to extend the deadline was taken after taking into consideration dealys that could be experienced in the post as well as appeals made to the Commission for an extention of the deadline.
The Commission has further advised applicants who are planning to complete their postal applications on October 9 and 10 to directly hand over the completed applications to the office of the Returning Officer in their respective districts rather than send them in the post, in order to avoid possible delays.
The National Democratic Front (NDF) party secretary has unilaterally nominated Ravi Karunanayake for the coalition’s national list parliamentary seat this morning (18), former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said.
