The elections commission has once again set back the vote to elect local councils stating that voting stations could not be set up in public schools on April 8.
The vote will now take place on April 15.
This is the second time the vote has been delayed.
It was first scheduled for January 14, but postponed after the ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives petitioned the civil court for a two-month delay citing its inability to prepare for the polls amid a leadership dispute.
