Mobitel Inner

The Department of Government Information (DGI) says that the Gazette notification to commence the Local Government (LG) Election process, with the signatures of the Chairman and other members of the Election Commission, has still not been sent to the Government Printer for publication.

 

However, the dates have been fixed to hold the 2023 Local Government Election on March 09.

 

When inquired by Ada Derana, a spokesperson from the Election Commission stated that there is no such requirement for the members of the Election Commission to send a Gazette notification to be published regarding the LG election process.

 

Furthermore, the Election Commission stated that the relevant Gazette will be issued by the District Returning Officers and that it will be issued in the next two days.
