Voters registered at the Nedunthivu polling station in Kayts, Jaffna have been waiting for hours for the boat service to travel to the polling station, the Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) reported.
Voters were waiting at Kurikattavan from 8:00am for the boat service which only arrived at 11:30am. The CMEV have lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
