Reported unevenly

  • Confirm the poll closing date: straitstimes.com states 'Aug 24' (August 24, 2026) explicitly, while devdiscourse.com, koreatimes.co.kr, and theprint.in state 'Monday' without a date. If the publication date cluster is August 25, 2026, 'Monday' would resolve to August 24, 2026, but straitstimes.com's explicit date should be verified against Reuters' own announcement or press release to confirm both references are to the same poll close date.
