Government Printer Pradeep Pushpakumara says that the printing of over one million ballot papers for 14 administrative districts has been completed.
Printing for the remaining 11 districts is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the 28th of April.
Meanwhile, Postmaster General P. Sathkumara said that approximately 50 percent of the ballot papers for postal voting are expected to be received by Department of Posts.
The postal ballots already received are currently being distributed.
He also noted that ballot papers for postal voting from local government institutions involved in ongoing court proceedings are anticipated to arrive soon.
The Court of Appeal yesterday lifted the interim injunction on 18 local government institutions, including the Colombo Municipal Council, allowing them to proceed with local government elections on May 6th as scheduled.
