Exile Tibetan electorates in Dharamshala cast their ballots on Sunday in the final round of voting for the 18th Tibetan Parliament in Exile. The final phase of the 2026 parliamentary elections is being conducted simultaneously across 27 countries, spanning 309 polling stations. The process is being overseen by 87 Regional Election Offices and managed by a total of 1,737 election officials. Phayul raised questions to Chief Election Commissioner Lobsang Yeshi regarding the Commission’s decision to withdraw the final round of voting in Nepal’s Choejor Tibetan Settlement. Referring to the decision, Phayul questioned the Commission’s reluctance to address the issue publicly and the absence of a dedicated press conference despite media expectations. In response, Lobsang Yeshi declined to comment in detail and emphasized that the priority remained the successful conduct of the ongoing election. When pressed further on transparency, he said the Commission remains accountable to the public and could consider holding a press conference if deemed necessary. However, he reiterated that the immediate focus was on ensuring the smooth completion of the election process. Reporter/Producer- Tenzin Nyidon Camera/Editing- Kunsang Dorji
