The Maldives Police Service has requested the Elections Commission make “easier arrangements” to vote in the upcoming presidential for police officers and suspects in custody, reports local media.
Current regulations require eligible voters to cast their vote in September’s upcoming presidential election on the island where they have registered, according to police.
However, police officers have to make urgent trips for official purposes and might lose their constitutional right to vote, the police told local media.
Additionally, suspects might be held on an island other than where they are registered, which would deprive them of their right to vote, police said.
