It would be better to have polling centres in Bars than in temples. Cheers!

there are less than 20% of the monks in sri lanka are with the rajapakse rogues.60-70% do not get involved in politics and follow the true path of the Lord Buddha.but those bad apples give a stinky name not only to other monks but also to buddhism as a whole

Election Commissioner - Now that this is happening - please in future DO NOT HAVE POLLING STATIONS IN PLACES OF WORSHIP.
