Postal voting for Sri Lanka’s 2024 General Election is set to commence today, providing an early voting option for Government employees, armed forces, and police personnel.

The Election Commission of Sri Lanka (ECSL) has announced a detailed plan to ensure a smooth and secure postal voting phase, establishing polling stations in strategic locations across the country, including all police stations, District Secretariats, and Election Commission offices.

The ECSL has scheduled 1 November and 4 November as designated postal voting days specifically for members of the armed forces and Government institutions, offering flexibility for those in critical service roles.

Additionally, a second voting date, 4 November, has been set for those unable to cast their ballots today. For those who miss the designated dates, arrangements have been made to allow them to vote at the District Secretariat associated with their workplace.

In a bid to maintain transparency and uphold electoral integrity, People’s Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL) Executive Director Rohana Hettiarachchi confirmed that nearly 1,000 PAFFREL officials will be stationed nationwide to monitor the postal voting process.
