Over 65 per cent of the postal voters had exercised their franchise, according to PAFFREL. “It was a peaceful poll,” the organization’s Executive Director Rohana Hettiarachchie said.
He said the attendance of Party representatives was poor and there had been no representatives at certain booths.
Hettiarachchie said that a few complaints had been received and two were against propaganda work just outside a polling booth.
In the districts of Badulla and Moneragala, postal voting in the Police Station had been postponed for today since President Mahinda Rajapaksa was visiting the area.
