Parties are required to declare this within 12 days of the writ’s release.
The lawful document that initiates the election process is the summons of election.
The Elections Department ( ELD ) disclosed that the area on the ballot paper where voters can mark their choice has been expanded in a statement released on Friday ( May 31 ) outlining updates coming up ahead of a General Election that must take place by November 2025.
According to ELD, some voters were doubtful whether the X-mark had been properly placed within the delineated area after the presidential election of last September.
These modifications take effect on Jun 14. The Parliamentary Elections Act, which was updated in 2023, contains these amendments.
