Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CaFFE) observers report that a large number of vehicles without number plates or with garage numbers are roaming Moneragala and Badulla engaging in electioneering. This is not only a violation of election laws but also the motor traffic act and shows the extent of the breakdown of law and order in Uva.

CaFFE has urged the Commissioner of Elections and the IGP to take immediate action. Attached herewith are several images of such vehicles, including one used by UPFA's Sendil Thondaman.

Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CaFFE) has learnt that the Survey Department has sent letters to over 300 persons, most of them from Uva province, asking them to come for interviews for the post of trainee surveyor between September 2 and 3 at the Survey Department head office.

This is a violation of election laws as recruitments, transfers and promotions of government servants are prohibited during the election period. CaFFE has written to the Commissioner of Elections regarding this election law violation.

Attached herewith are the letter sent by the Survey Department and CaFFE's letter to the Commissioner of Elections.
