22 Jun 2020

Arrest without warrants is possible for displaying posters, cutouts, and preferential numbers, said Election Commission (EC) Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya. Earlier this month, the Police launched a special operation for all police divisions to remove illegal posters, cutouts, and preferential numbers related to the looming general election. In the meantime, special mock elections were conducted in the Mattakkuliya and Dematagoda areas on 20 June. The purpose of these mock elections is to educate the voters on how to cast their ballot while adhering to health guidelines. Nearly 400 voters took part in these mock elections.
