Local Council Election 2017

Elections Commission officials are still counting two ballot boxes placed in Malé.

They are counting a ballot box for Eydhafushi island in Baa atoll placed at MES school, and one for Thinadhoo island in Gaafu Dhaalu atoll placed at Kalaafaanu School.

Two ballot papers have also reportedly gone missing.

The Elections Commission is yet to fully count and process the ballots cast in Saturday's vote. Commission members cited a technical problem for the delay.
