President of the Elections Commission have said that the voting locating can only be changed with a court warrant.

In a press conference held by the EC, the president of the commission Ahmed Shareef said that the candidates have signed the voters list and that it has been published. He said that hence it can only be changed under two conditions. That is only if the court order to do so, and if someone is listed at a wrong location due to an administrative error by the Elections Commission.

In addition, he said that even if it is an administrative error, the person would be allowed to vote only after the case is investigated by the complaint's bureau. He said that a decision will be taken on the day itself.
