Chairman of the Elections Commission (EC) Mahinda Deshapriya yesterday said that the EC was yet to decide on the dates of marking of postal votes and the certain media reports that the dates for postal voting have been announced was totally false and misleading.

“I have been informed by the official of the EC who is in charge of making arrangements to hold the postal voting that he had not submitted any document to the EC pertaining to the conducting of postal voting or dates of postal voting,” Mr. Deshapriya stressed.

Mr. Deshapriya requested the media not to publish, broadcast, telecast or download any information, postal voting or otherwise connected to the Parliamentary polls -2020 until the EC officially announces such information. (Sandun A Jayasekera)

Unfortunately all four instruments in Sri Lanka which are supposed to be "DEMOCRATIC" VIZ. Judiciary,Executive,Legislature and Media are totally disfunctional. Answer - HIGHLY CORRUPT system in operation for along time.

Those who greedy of grabbing power cannot wait till the time comes. They stoning to the EC as well. We are sure that the EC is trying to free and fair election while protecting the lives of the people from COVID.

Why does the EC not take legal action anyone publishing fake/false news - is he afraid of his life (taking his predecessor as an example)
