November 12, Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission (EC) has introduced an online service for Sri Lankans who have not received their official polling cards by post, allowing them to download a copy ahead of the parliamentary elections on Thursday (14).

Voters who have yet to receive their polling cards can easily obtain a digital version by visiting the Election Commission’s e-services website at https://eservices.elections.gov.lk.

This new feature aims to streamline access, ensuring that every eligible voter has the necessary documentation for Election Day.

The EC outlined a straightforward process for obtaining the polling card online. To begin, voters should:

  1. Visit the EC’s e-services site and select ‘Voter Registration Details Search’.
  2. Enter their National Identity Card (NIC) number and Administration District.
  3. Choose the option for ‘Voter Registration Details for Parliamentary Election 2024’ to view their voter details.
  4. Input their mobile phone number below the voter registration information.
  5. Select ‘Download the official polling card’, which will generate a print-ready copy.

Once these steps are completed, voters will receive a One-Time Password (OTP) via SMS, which must be entered to finalise and print the polling card.

The Election Commission emphasised that possessing an official polling card is not mandatory for voting.

Voters registered for the 2024 election can simply bring a valid NIC to their assigned polling station and cast their vote by verifying their identity.

This initiative reflects the EC’s commitment to ensuring an inclusive and accessible voting process, especially for those facing postal delays.
