Assembly Elections 2026: Counting Underway with ECI Commitment to Transparency

The Chief Electoral Officer reported that a total of 53,984 postal ballots have been distributed to service voters. As of May 1, 20,028 of these ballots have been successfully returned.

This process is part of the electoral initiatives aimed at facilitating voting for service members, including military and other personnel who are away from their registered voting locations. Postal voting is crucial in ensuring that these voters can participate in the electoral process, even while deployed or stationed away from home. The electoral office continues to encourage all service voters to complete and return their ballots in a timely manner to ensure their voices are heard in the upcoming elections.
