Assembly Elections 2026: Counting Preparations Complete, ECI Ensures Transparency

As of May 1, the Chief Electoral Officer reported that a total of 53,984 postal ballots had been distributed to service voters. Among these, 20,028 ballots have been successfully returned. This distribution and collection effort is part of the broader electoral process aimed at ensuring that service members, who may be stationed away from their registered voting locations, can participate in the upcoming elections. The continued effort to gather and process these ballots highlights the importance of facilitating voting access for all eligible citizens, especially those serving in the military. Further updates will be provided as more ballots are received and the election date approaches.
