The Maldives Media Council (MMC) has reopened the application process for new members for the third time.
In a statement released today, the home ministry said that the application would be open for applicants who want to become a member of the committee until October 22.
The MMC consists of eight members from the media and seven members from the general public who are not affiliated with the media.
Complications with the first attempted application process caused the elections to be postponed, while the second attempt was delayed after issues were raised regarding inactive media outlets still being eligible to vote.
