Presidential Election: Nearly 3m official polling cards distributed

The Department of Posts said that the distribution of approximately 3 million official polling cards for the 2024 presidential election had been completed thus far.

The official polling card distribution process began on Sept.  3 and is expected to continue until Sept. 14.

Deputy Postmaster General Rajitha Ranasinghe stated that Sunday (Sep. 08) has been designated as a special day for distributing official polling cards despite being a weekend.

“Although tomorrow is Sunday, we have declared it a special day for delivering official polling cards. We plan to distribute the notices door-to-door from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” said Mr. Ranasinghe.

Furthermore, he urged residents to remain at home to collect their official polling cards, which require signatures to confirm receipt.
