The Election Commission has gazetted that it will set a new date for the forthcoming general election after May 14th.
The Election Commission was compelled to postpone the election following the announcement of several measures by the government in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya announced that a date would be revealed in the near future as the secretariat was not in a position to hold elections on April 25th as previously announced.
