Election Commission Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya yesterday demonstrated the safety features on the cardboard ballot boxes to dispel fears the election could be rigged by changing the boxes or tampering with them.
Deshapriay said all necessary arrangements have been put in place to ensure there are no irregularities on voting day or during counting.
“ Some rumours going around that ballot boxes will be changed and there will be rigging as counting will begin the day after the poll but there are enough security measures to ensure no such thing happens,” Deshapriya said.
