2025 National Elections Overseas
Notice of the Final Lockdown and Sealing
08 April 2025
All interested parties are informed that the Embassy’s Special Board of Election Inspector will conduct the final sealing of the Online Voting and Counting System for the 2025 National Elections Overseas on 11 April 2025, 4pm.
[Update, 09 April 2025]
Please be informed that the Final Lockdown and Sealing is an exercise to ensure that the General Election has not yet began and that it contains zero “0” votes.
It does not mean that voting has started or ended nor does it mean that registered overseas voters can no longer pre-enroll.
This is a procedure that ensures that actual digital ballots are only accessed by all pre-enrolled voters beginning 13 April 2025, 8:00am, BST.
Please note of the following schedule for the election activities:
Pre-Voting Enrollment - 22 Mar to 07 May 2025
Test Voting - 22 Mar to 12 April 2025
Actual Voting - 13 April (8am, BST) to 12 May 2025 (12nn, BST)
Thank you.
