Bank Branches to Remain Closed in Election Areas

Important Notice for the Upcoming General Election

Banks in specific areas will be closed due to security reasons.

In light of the upcoming General Election By-Election taking place on June 26th, 2024, the relevant authorities have deemed it necessary to keep scheduled bank branches within the election areas closed on that particular day to ensure public safety and maintain a secure environment for the conduct of the election.

The decision to close bank branches in these areas was made after careful consideration of the potential security risks and the need to prioritize the smooth running of the electoral process. By closing the banks, it is expected that the movement of individuals in and out of the areas will be restricted, thereby reducing the likelihood of disturbances or incidents that could disrupt the election.

Members of the public are kindly requested to take note of this information and plan their banking transactions accordingly. Banks in other areas will remain open and operational as usual, providing essential services to their customers.
