Accordingly, postal voters must provide the National Identity Card, a Valid Driving License, a Valid Passport, a Temporary Identity Card issued by the Election Commission or a document issued by the Department for Registration of Persons to certify the details of an individual who is not in possession of a National Identity Card to cast their ballots.

The Election Commission has announced that postal voting for the LG polls will take place only on April 24, 25, 28, and 29.
