EC sets Oct, 25 to Nov, 4 for vote transfer, proxy voting application

The Electoral Commission has announced applications for the transfer of votes and proxy voting at its District Offices across the country.

The exercise is scheduled to begin from Friday, 25th October to Monday, 4th November, 2019, the commission has said in a statement.

“Between 25th October and 4th November, 2019 ALL security personnel who previously registered in the Districts where they reside should contact the District Offices in their respective districts for a transfer of their votes to enable them vote in the special voting exercise scheduled for the 10th of December ahead of the 2019 referendum,” the statement said.

The statement further noted voters who transferred their votes to enable them vote in the 2018 referenda will be required to go through the process of transferring their votes again as the 2018 transfers were temporal.
