The Election Commission of Sri Lanka is deliberating a four-day period for marking postal votes in the upcoming presidential election. Although the specific dates for postal voting have yet to be confirmed, a final decision is expected following a commission meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

This decision came up after the completion of the postal voting application process, which ended at midnight on August 9. The initial deadline was set for August 5 but was extended by four days due to a significant drop in the number of applications received.
