Commissioner of Elections Mahinda Deshapriya urged voters to cast their vote in the morning hours. ‘Vote early and get back to your homes or workplaces instead of staying around polling booths’, he said. He said it would be convenient for the voters as well as staff if the voter takes his polling card, but it was compulsory to take the card. Over 30,000 local monitors and 200 international observers are watching the conduct of the poll. According to the Commissioner the first electoral level result is expected only after midnight, but postal vote results are expected around 10.00 p.m.
