The Election Commission has announced that the deadline for submitting applications to cast postal votes in the 2025 Local Government (LG) Elections ends at 12:00 midnight today (12).
Applicants must ensure their duly filled forms are delivered to District Returning Officers through the District Election Office by the deadline.
The Commission emphasized that applications received after the cutoff time will be rejected without consideration.
Postal delivery of applications on the deadline day will not be accepted as a valid reason for late submission.
Voters eligible for postal voting, including public servants, election officials, and others unable to vote in person on election day, are urged to submit their applications promptly to avoid disqualification.
The 2025 LG Elections are expected to be a significant event in Sri Lanka’s democratic process.
