Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Polling closed in the Maldives' 2024 parliamentary elections and vote counting began across 602 polling stations, including three overseas locations, with provisional results expected later in the evening. The election for 93 parliamentary seats drew 386 candidates, with the PNC competing against MDP and The Democrats, while observers reported smooth polling with only minor concerns about ballot secrecy.
