Sri Lanka election monitor Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CaFFE) said that 475 complaints have been reported to them as of yesterday (21).
They said that 451 out of 475 complaints are with regard to violations of election laws. The other 24 complaints were reported pertaining to property damage, assault and intimidation.
Meanwhile, Executive Director of the CaFFE Ahmed Manas Makin urged private sector employees to lodge complaints with the election monitor if they have any problems in obtaining leave from private institutions to cast their votes.
He noted that many private companies are violating the voting rights of their employees in every election by not granting leave and it is a serious situation. He also said that CaFFE has stepped in to resolve such complaints in consultation with the heads of the relevant companies.
