Voting facilities for the displaced and resettled
Moves are afoot to set up polling booths within the
Welfare Villages in the North for the civilians to cast their votes at
the Presidential polls. The Government has focused attention on the
establishment of polling centers within the Welfare Villages to enable
the civilians of the North to exercise their franchise at the
Presidential polls.
A majority of the displaced have taken shelter in nine
of the Welfare Villages within Vavuniya. A special discussion on the
setting up of polling booths within these villages is planned for today.
Vavuniya District Secretary P.S.M.Charles said that
facilities will be extended to those who have been resettled in their
places of origin to exercise their franchise within their villages.
