The Elections Commission clarified that voters in the 5 Apr Local Council Elections, Women's Development Committee elections and national referendum may choose which of the three ballots to take, with refusals recorded and announced in front of observers. The EC said 294,876 voters are eligible and 582 ballot boxes have been prepared under Maldives Police Service supervision.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We will offer all three ballots. If a voter indicates they do not wish to take a particular ballot, it will not be issued, and that will be announced so observers can take note
Every voter will be able to go to their designated polling station and cast their vote according to their own choice, without any pressure or interference
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The EC has confirmed that a total of 294,876 voters are eligible to vote in tomorrow’s elections,
