Maumoon had called to postpone the local council elections after cases of the Covid-19 disease were spotted in the country.

However, the Elections Commission today stated that the situation had not escalated to the point where the elections had to be canceled. Elections Commission also stated that postponing an election was not within its powers but can only be done through the court system.
