Press Release: Early Voting by University and College Students

 

November 22

 

The Union Election Commission has been carrying out measures in accordance with the law to ensure that eligible voters do not lose their right to vote. In this regard, university, degree college and college students whose names are included in the voter lists but who must attend the institutions that will reopen soon, and who reside outside the townships where they are enrolled, to vote were allowed to cast advance ballots. Students who have turned eighteen years of age and are legally eligible to vote were instructed to appear at the respective ward or village-tract subcommission offices where their names are listed, between 9 am and 4:30 pm, from 17 to 21 November 2025, and cast advance ballots by presenting the required supporting documents to avoid losing their voting rights.

 

During the specified dates, eligible students from universities, degree colleges and colleges in various regions and states arrived at the respective ward or village-tract subcommission offices to cast advance ballots. A total of 22,048 students were reported to have cast advance ballots within the designated period.
