Parliamentary elections will be held in the Maldives on 21 April 2024,[1] previously scheduled on 17 March 2024 marking the first Parliamentary elections in the Muslims’ Holy month of Ramadan.[2] The Election date was changed to April after President Muizzu ratifies election postponement bill by Parliament passes on 28 February.[3][4] Due to Grade 7, 8 and 9 exams scheduled for 16–27 April clashing with the parliamentary election date, the Ministry of Education decided to bring forward the tests to 27 March–25 April.[5]
