1 Functions of the Election Commission
Matters relating to the election process, which were hitherto attended to by the Department of Elections under the supervision of the Commissioner of Elections, were vested in the Election Commission with its establishment on 17.11.2015. In terms of Article 103(2) of the Constitution, the conduct of free and fair elections is the fundamental duty of the Election Commission. Accordingly, the Election of the President and the conduct of Parliamentary Elections, Provincial Councils Elections, Local Authorities Elections and Referenda in a free and fair manner and in connection therewith the revision of the Electoral Register on an annual basis, have to be attended to by the Commission. In addition to these statutory functions, filling of vacancies of members in Parliament, Provincial Councils and Local Authorities and recognition and registration of political parties are the other statutory functions that have been assigned to the Election Commission.
1. Provincial Councils Elections (Amendment) Act, No. 17 of 2017
The Provincial Council Elections Act, No. 17 of 2017 was being amended by introducing a mixed representation system instead of the proportional representation system, which was implemented for the election of Members to the Provincial Councils established for nine provinces, in terms of the Provincial Council Elections Act, No. 2 of 1988.
Administrative districts within the authorities of provincial councils shall be divided into the specified number of wards, a number and a name shall be provided for these wards for the purpose of identifying those areas and the delimitation of the wards shall be commenced. Then the relevant report shall be handed over to the Minister in charge of the Provincial Councils within four months from the date on which the Delimitation Commission is asked to delimit wards and such delimitation shall be passed in the Parliament with a majority of two - thirds.
Accordingly, to submit candidates who are to be elected from an administrative district as Member of a Provincial Council, political parties and independent groups have to submit the nomination paper in two lists namely, one list of candidates to be elected under wards and an additional list of candidates to be returned according to the proportional system. The candidate list of the electoral district is similar to the number of wards and the number of candidates in the district list shall be more than 3 members of the number of Members to be returned.
Following the distribution of electoral districts, the Election Commission, at an election, published the number of Members to be elected from the district list and the ward lists under the administrative districts of each Provincial Council, considering the number of Members decided to be elected for each Provincial Council from the district list and the ward list and declared the number of women which shall be in the ward and district candidate list.
2
Accordingly, the relevant parties are legally bound to submit nominations along with a number of women not fewer than 1/6 of the ward candidate list of the district and not fewer than 50% of the district candidate list.
1.1. Local Authorities Election - 2018
The First Past the Post electoral system in force in Sri Lanka since 1865 was first amended as a proportional election system through Act, No. 27 of 1987.
This mixed proportional representation system was thereafter gradually established by the Local Authorities Elections (Amendment) Act, No. 22 of 2012. A delimitation committee was set up to establish electoral districts according to this new mixed proportional system. A Review Committee was established to review the report submitted by that Committee and even though the committee’s term of office expired in 2008, no election was held at the proper time and in accordance with the new provisions amended by Act, No. 22 of 2012 the opportunity has come to hold the local authorities elections.
Also, the Local Authorities Elections Act No. 16 of 2017 was passed to correct the technical errors of the Act that was to be implemented and to make changes in the electoral system.
The introduction of special provisions for women's representation has been identified as a positive impact of this act. Accordingly, the nomination paper was made up of two parts, 10% of the candidates in the first nomination list and 50% of the candidates in the second nomination list viz., marking up an additional nomination paper should comprise women and a least 25% of women’s representations were required for each of the councils. Also, a special amendment of this Act is, if a party or a group wishes to nominate a nominee for the vacant post of a female member, it should definitely be a woman nominee.
Although the necessary laws were amended regarding the holding of Local Authorities Elections in 2017, there was a tendency of postponing since the relevant procedures were not published in the gazette. However, there was disaffection among the mass organizations and the public and the media, civil organizations and the people submitted facts in this regard and pressured to hold elections. Accordingly, the Government published the local authorities procedural Gazette No. 2013/29 dated 07.04.2017 and it was published by Gazettes No. 2025/35 dated 30.06.2017 and 2043/56 dated 02.11.2017. Accordingly, the Returning Officers published the nomination notice on 27.11.2017. As this was stated before the court, the nomination notice was published for the non problematic local authorities by then. Thus it was decided to receive the nominations from 11.12.2017 to 14.12.2017.
3 The statutory activities to be carried out regarding the local authorities election were carried out in the following time frames.
Nomination Stage I
Nomination Notice - 27.11.2017 Receiving of Nominations - 11.12.2017 – 12 noon of 14.12.2017 Receiving of Postal Voting Applications - 27.11.2017 – 15.12.2017 Period for Appointment of Authorized Agents - Before 8.30 a.m. on 08.12.2017 Age limit of the Youth - 31.05.1995 – 14.12.1982
Nomination Stage II
Nomination Notice - 04.12.2017 Receiving of Nominations - 18.12.2017 – 12 noon of 21.12.2017 Receiving of Postal Voting Applications - 01.12.2017 – 22.12.2017 Period for Appointment of Authorized Agents - Before 8.30 a.m. on 15.12.2017 Issuing of Poll Notice - 26.12.2017 Poll Date - 10.02.2018
Accordingly, the following days had been scheduled for the activities relating to the Local Authorities Elections.
Notice of Issuing Postal Votes - 23.12.2017 Certification of Postal Votes - 10.01.2018 Issuing of Postal Votes - 12.01.2018 Marking of Postal Votes - 22/25/26.01.2018 and 01/02.02.2018 Handing Over to the Post Office - 18.01.2018 Special Distribution - 28.01.2018 Distribution of Official Poll Cards - Before 12 midnight of 04.02.2018 Period of Silence for Refrain from Campaigning - From midnight on 07.02.2018 until the end of the election on 10.02.2018 Poll - 7.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m. on 10.02.2018
Instead of previously held centralized counting, counting was carried out at each polling station or the ballot boxes of all polling stations of the division were brought into one polling station in the division and were separately counted.
Nomination papers were handed over (by political parties and independent groups) at both stages and some of them were rejected due to non-conformity with the provisions of the Local Authorities Elections Ordinanace. The aggrieved parties in this regard and in regard to the cases where the names of candidates were rejected took 54 court actions and except the petition relating to the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha all other 53 petitions were rejected by the honorable court before the poll day.
4 Accordingly, the local authorities election was held at 340 local authorities island wide (except for Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha) on 10.02.2018. Election to Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha could not be held due to court proceedings. Election was held peacefully and without special influence. As prescribed the Returning Officers of the respective districts and local government bodies have released the results after counting the votes. There was some delay in publishing the results at the national level and it was revealed that it was due to technical errors in the computerization of the results at the polling station level. However, as a whole this election was a new experience which was held under a different voting system while formulating all forms and ballot papers separately as Local Authorities, covering the whole island. According to the electoral register of 2017, the number of registered electors was 15,760,867 and the votes polled pertaining to the local authorities election was 12,561,193. It is a high rate of 79.69% and is a higher polled value, no matter what the election or the circumstance. Also, this was the first election held after the establishment of the Commission. Further, the ability to hold a free and peaceful election within a very short period of time by overcoming all the obstacles can be considered as a victory achieved by the Election Commission.
02. Registration of Electors Act, No. 44 of 1980
Revision of Electoral Registers – 2017
2.1. The notice of the commencement of the enumeration of electors for the year 2017 under Section 12(1) of the Registration of Electors Act was published in Gazette No. 2019/7 dated 15.05.2017. In addition, the same published in Sinhala, Tamil and English newspapers, on the same day.
2.2. At the end of the completion of the activities relating to multiple registrations and inquiries into claims and objections the re-scrutinizing of the names of all electors with the enumeration forms (BC Forms) was carried out. The Electoral Register was certified on 12.10.2017 in terms of Section 18 of the Registration of Electors Act, No. 44 of 1980 and the notice in this regard was published in Gazette No. 2040/36 on 12.10.2017 and in newspapers on the same day, under Section 20 of the Act.
2.3. At the end of the certification of the Electoral Register for the year 2017, the Registering Officer of each electoral district provided statements on total number of names in the electoral register to the Election Commission, in terms of Section 23 of the Registration of Electors Act. Based on these figures the Election Commission, in terms of Sub - Article 98(8) of the Constitution, published in Gazette No. 2047/12 of 27.11.2017 the details on the number of members to be elected for each electoral district at a Parliamentary Election, for the year 2017. Details are shown in Table I.
2.4. At the field activities of the enumeration of electors in relation with the revision of electoral register 2018, action was taken to use the electoral register 2017 to recognize household units of which all eligible citizens resided at the relevant area in 2018.
5
2.5 Hence in 2017, when compared with 2016, there is no change in the number of members to be elected for each electoral district under Article 98 (8) of the Constitution. Comparative statement in that regard is given in Table II.
03. Revision of Electoral Registers – 2018
3.1. The notice under Section 12(1) of the Registration of Electors Act relating to the commencement of the enumeration of electors for the year 2018 was published in Gazette No. 2071/10 on 15.05.2018 and steps were taken to publish the same in Sinhala, Tamil and English newspapers, on the same day.
3.2. House to house enumeration was used to commence on 1st of June every year until the year 2012 and after the year 2012 it was advanced to mid - May of the relevant year. Hence, the enumeration of electors for 2018 was commenced on 15.05.2018. However, in terms of the Registration of Electors Act, No. 44 of 1980, 1st of June in 2018 was considered as the qualifying date to be an elector.
3.3. Written instructions regarding the enumeration of electors in all electoral districts were issued to District Registering Officers on 02.03.2018 and the Election Commission enlightened the secretaries of the recognized political parties in writing on 02.03.2018 about the procedure of appointing representatives of each political party for the revision of electoral register.
3.4. With the objective of inclusion of all qualified electors in the electoral register, much attention was drawn in this year too to identifying and registering the ethnic groups as well as marginalized groups, who have not been included in the electoral register hitherto, as electors. Accordingly, instructions were given to relevant District Registering Officers/ Government Agents as well as to Deputy/ Assistant Commissioners of Elections that it is essential to register low income earners in urban areas, people living in urban high rise apartments, people migrating to urban areas, Tamil speaking people working in plantation related jobs in Central, Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces as well as Kalutara, Galle and Matara Districts and, internally displaced persons living in various areas of the Island due to actions of armed persons in Northern and Eastern Provinces. Also, a supplementary register was prepared under the Registration of Electors (Special Provisions) Act, No. 10 of 2017 for the persons who had been internally displaced after 2009 and had not registered elsewhere in the electoral register. Accordingly, the task of registering all qualified persons was successfully completed in the year 2018.
6
3.5. As in the previous years instructions were given to implement a special program in the year 2018 too, under the personal supervision of each Deputy / Assistant Commissioner of Elections in the districts, to register Tamil speaking persons serving in the plantation sector and other related jobs who have not registered as electors due to various reasons, viz. inability to confirm the date of birth, issues in relation to citizenship, being away from home during the enumeration period and lack of interest in registering as electors. The support of the Superintendents of Estates, Plantation Community Facilitators, Welfare Officers of estates and Grama Niladharis serving in the divisions in estate areas was sought in inserting the names of many persons in the estates in the electoral register. A special program at district level was also launched during the claims and objections period to insert the names of electors in estate areas who have failed to have their names inserted at the preliminary stage of enumeration.
3.6. To prepare an electoral register where no any eligible citizen is left behind, the Election Commission paid special attention to the following communities / groups at the revision of electoral registers 2018.
Factory employees of the investment promotion zones of Katunayake, Biyagama, Koggala, etc., who came from various areas of the island and housekeepers/house maids of various areas,
Migrant workers who had worked overseas viz., in countries like South Korea, Saudi Arabia etc., in the recent past,
People with upcountry ordinary residency and low country estates who are coming to work in the capital or other urban areas,
The fishing community that migrates to the eastern area from the southern and western coastal areas during the off season,
People residing in rented houses, especially who are in municipalities and towns on rent or lease basis,
General public residing in housing complexes in which there are many household units and in apartments.
Special programs were implemented to register the above mentioned Sri Lankan citizens on the electoral register. In particular, when registering residents in rented houses, a house number has been issued with the letter "R" and the relevant home number, and registered on the electoral register.
7 3.6.1. A pilot project was implemented in fifteen (15) Grama Niladhari Divisions to introduce a new form for enumeration of electors which is simple and easy to use compared to the existing form for enumeration of electors. The details of the above 15 Grama Niladhari divisions are in Table III. This pilot project was successfully implemented and the positive feedback given by the people, Grama Niladharis and officials in charge of polling divisions who were attached to the District Election Offices of the Election Commission, on this new form of enumeration of electors is a very important factor. Accordingly, it is expected to further expand this pilot project in all other districts of the island in the year 2019 too.
3.7. As in the year 2017, in 2018 too, house to house enumeration of electors could be carried out in all areas of the Northern Province but house to house enumeration of electors was not possible in 28 polling districts in Jaffna Electoral District and 01 polling district in Vanni Electoral District, where people had not yet resided in their original places of residence. In relation to these areas the names of those in the previous electoral register and the names of newly qualified persons were inserted in the electoral register, except the names of those who were reported as dead. Relevant details of the polling districts where house to house enumeration was not carried out as above are shown in Table IV.
3.8. Field work relating to the revision commenced on 15 May, 2018. Although initially it was planned to be completed by 31 October 2018, it was decided to certify the electoral register on 05.10.2018 to be used for the Provincial Council election, if it is held. However, the certification of the electoral register had to be postponed till 25.10.2018 due to adverse weather conditions and other practical issues.
3.9. Accordingly, action was taken to conclude field activities of the enumeration of electors, which commenced on 15th May 2018, by the first week of August 2018, to prepare the “A” list, which contains the names deleted from the electoral register of the year 2017 and the “B” list, which contains the newly inserted names to the operative register, by 09.08.2018 and to exhibit “A” and “B” lists at all District Elections Offices, Divisional Secretariats, Grama Niladhari Offices and Local Authorities, under Section 13 of the Registration of Electors Act No. 44 of 1980, during the period from 10.08.2018 to 06.09.2018, for the perusal of the general public and enable them to submit their claims, if their names were not included in the register until then. In the revision of electoral registers for the year 2018, there were 861,032 names to be deleted (“A” list) and 1,093,951 new names to be inserted (“B” list) to the operative register (2017) in relation to all electoral districts. Relevant details are shown in Table V. Claims and objections were accepted during this period of exhibition. The District Deputy/Assistant Commissioners of Elections (Assistant Registering
8 Officers) were advised to consider the written complaints received by the District Election Offices as well as the messages submitted through the website as “a request for claim”, even though they were not submitted in the specific claim format. The notice about the exhibition of “A” and “B” lists under Section 13(2) of the Registration of Electors Act was published in Gazette No. 2083/40 of 10.08.2018 and in Divaina, Virakesari and Daily News newspapers on 10.08.2018.
3.10. Prior to the commencement of the enumeration, steps were taken to inform all recognized political parties to appoint representatives on their behalf to participate with the enumerators in the activities of house to house enumeration of electors, observe the delivery of enumeration forms (BC forms) to the chief occupants and acceptance of such forms, examine the same at the enumerators’ office, at the end of field enumeration and to submit their observations. Since 1981 this opportunity has been extended to all recognized political parties to engage their representatives in observing the duties of the enumerators and special enumerators. This will be a tremendous support in the preparation of an accurate electoral register. It is also the responsibility of all political parties to ensure the participation of their representatives in the enumeration process and ensure that the enumeration has been done correctly, without making complaints about depriving of the franchise of their party supporters, during an election period or when their supporters make complaints. However, only a very limited number of political parties appointed their representatives for this purpose and an insignificant number of those appointed also, contributed to this activity. During the year 2018 a series of awareness programs was implemented by Deputy/Assistant Commissioners of Elections of District Elections Offices to educate those who were appointed by political parties about the process of revision of electoral registers and the responsibility of the party representatives. The details regarding appointments and participation of representatives of political parties in the revision of the electoral register 2018 are given in Table VI.
3.11. In the revision of 2018 too, action was taken to inform chief occupants of households in writing and to obtain further information about the incidents of which the enumerators, at the time of accepting checked forms for enumeration of electors (BC Forms) from the enumerators, had not recommended the inclusion of the names on various grounds though the chief occupants entered those names, or all the electors of a household were deleted in the year 2018 though they were registered in the year 2017 or when the names were deleted for various reasons such as failure to handover the forms for enumeration of electors (BC forms). Based on the responses received from the chief occupants and the recommendations of the enumerators, the names which could be accepted to be registered at the place applied for were accepted and “B” listed and all other claims
9 were treated as claims received during the period for claims and the applicants were called for inquiries. Action was taken to insert the names in the electoral register which could be accepted according to the information revealed at the inquiries.
3.12. Under the displaying of “A” and “B” lists, 90,306 claims and 1,166 objections under all electoral districts were received by the District Registering Officers, relevant to the revision in the year 2018. With a view to safeguarding the rights of all to vote and to make available in an all inclusive register of electors, action was taken too to call every person for inquiries treating all submissions made by them in any manner as claims namely, requests received through letters during the period of revision, UE Forms, requests received in respect of the letters sent to the names which were not recommended by the Grama Niladharis but were in the BC forms handed over to the Election Offices by the enumerators with or without the recommendations of the Grama Niladhari. For the first time action was taken in 2016 to introduce a computer programme where the general public can refer their issues relating to the Revision of the electoral register via the official website of the Commission. Hence in this year also the draft register of electors 2018 containing the names deleted (A) and names included (B) was displayed on the website from 10.08.2018 to 06.09.2018 and the opportunity was accorded to the electors to submit their problems on incorrect names and ID numbers etc,. In addition, the draft electoral register was exhibited at District Election Offices and all Grama Niladhari Offices. Similar to year 2017, in 2018 too the public was made aware through the paper advertisements and electronic media opportunities to peruse the electoral register to check whether his/ her name has been included and if not, to inform the Election Commission or the District Election Office on or before 06.09.2018. The District Registering Officers were required to conclude the inquiries into claims and objections before 22.09.2018. The numbers of claims and objections received, accepted and rejected at electoral district level are given in Table VII.
3.13. A program similar to the program implemented to detect multiple registrations in the Electoral Register of 2017 was implemented in 2018 too. Accordingly, in the revision of the electoral register for the year 2018,
3.13.1. Multiple registrations among newly added names in the district, i.e.
multiple registrations among newly added names in the district and the names in the operative electoral register (2017) of the district, multiple registrations among newly added names in the district and the names in the operative registers in rest of the other districts, and
10 multiple registrations among newly added names in the district and the newly added names in rest of the other districts
were examined and ascertained by using methods to check multiple registrations.
Instances where two or more persons have been registered under the same National Identity Card number were also revealed at the inquiries conducted by sending letters to the relevant electors.
3.13.2. In the year 2018, the names of 131,902 electors were revealed as multiple registrations and steps were taken to register them under only one eligible address and the details of the number of names so deleted on grounds of multiple registrations of each electoral district are given in Table VIII.
3.13.3. Enumerators were instructed to make every effort at the enumeration to record the National Identity Card Numbers of all electors, who have obtained National Identity Cards, as the submission of a valid identity card has been made compulsory at the time of voting according to the Elections (Special Provisions) Act, No. 14 of 2004. Steps were taken to inform the Department for Registration of Persons and the elector concerned, when the computer program used to prepare the electoral register detects incorrect numbers although the National Identity Card was submitted at the time of enumeration. Through this process it was possible to correct a large number of errors in identity card numbers and to prevent attempts made by electors to enter their names under several addresses for whatever reasons. Particulars of the persons, who produced their National Identity Card numbers at the enumeration of electors in 2018 and the comparative statement on the number of persons, who have produced the same National Identity Card numbers at the revision of electoral registers from year 2009 – 2018, are shown in Table IX and X respectively.
3.13.4. Particulars of the number of persons in each Grama Niladhari Division who did not have identity cards in their possession and the reasons for not obtaining them by now namely, inability to produce the birth certificate or any other document to prove their date of birth, not interested in obtaining the identity card or other reasons, were obtained from the Grama Niladharis at the 2018 revision and steps were taken to inform them to the Commissioner of Registration of Persons. Accordingly, the Department for Registration of Persons took action, during the year 2018 to implement a new program to issue identity cards to those persons.
11
3.13.5. Under the recommendations of the Director/Legal of the Election Commission and with the approval of the Election Commission, action was taken to investigate and delete the names of 47 persons from the electoral register as the Department of Elections/Election Commission received reports, during the year 2018 and earlier years, that they were serving imprisonment for offences committed under the Act to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption and election laws or on other grounds. Details of the names deleted due to various reasons are given in Table XI.
3.13.6. The draft register was forwarded to Grama Niladharis from 08.10.2018 to 13.10.2018 to confirm the accuracy.
3.13.7. The Electoral Register for the year 2018 was certified on 25.10.2018 under Section 18 of the Registration of Electors Act, No. 44 of 1980. The Notice in that regard was published in Gazette No. 2094/33 of 25.10.2018 and in the newspapers on the same day, under Section 20(1) of the Act. The number of registered electors in 2017 and 2018 according to the electoral districts is given in Table XII. The huge contribution received from the officers of the Head Office of the Election Commission as well as the District Registering Officials/Government Agents, the District Deputy/Assistant Commissioners of Elections and their staff and all the other stakeholders should be commended. The name list of District Assistant Registering Officers who have certified the electoral register 2018 is given in Table XIII.
3.13.8. The total number of registered electors in 2017 and 2018 is 15,760,867 and 15,992,096, respectively. Accordingly, there were 231,229 more electors when compared to the year 2017 and the increase of the electors in the year 2017 when compared to the year 2016 was 148,897. Therefore, there was a numerical increase in the number of electors in the year 2018 compared to the year 2017. In 2016 and 2017, the percentage growth of registration of electors relative to the previous year was 1.23% and 0.95%, respectively and it shows an increase by 1.41% in 2018. It is observed that the awareness programs and other initiatives that have been carried out in the previous years by the Election Commission, relating to the registration of electors, have contributed to this increase. Details in that regard are shown in Table XIV.
3.13.9. A comparative statement on the number of electors in polling divisions of each electoral district from the year 2009 to 2018 is given in Table XV.
12 4. Registration of Electors (Special Provisions) Act, No. 10 of 2017
4.1. In terms of the above Act’s provisions the objective of this Registration of Electors (Special Provisions) Act, No. 10 of 2017 is to provide such persons with the right to vote, as were internally displaced after 2018 as a result of acts of terrorist or armed groups. In fact, this was a further enforcement of the Registration of Electors (Special Provisions) Act, No. 27 of 2013. In the year 2018 too, the registration of electors was carried out according to the provisions of this Act. Accordingly, through the publications on Divaina, Daily News, Virakesari newspapers on 02 November 2018, people were informed to claim to register on the electoral register, if they were displaced in the above manner. The time given for claims was from 01 November – 10 November 2018. Accordingly, 6 claim applications were received and after investigations 2 in the Mullaitivu District were accepted. These 2 electors were provided with the right to vote in the elections, which will be held based on the electoral register in 2018. Accordingly, in terms of Section 3.1 of such Act, the Gazette notification No. 2094/35 dated 26.10.2018 was published to register them in the electoral register, if there are persons who are in need. In addition, a public paper advertisement was also published in this regard. The list of registration details in 2017 and 2018 under the Registration of Electors (Special Provisions) Act, No. 10 of 2017 is shown in Table XVI.
4.2. Order under Article 98 (8) of the Constitution

5.1. As in the previous years, steps were taken during the revision of electoral register 2018 too, to implement various programs at the district level in parallel with the awareness programs carried out through electronic and print media for the benefit of the general public based on Voters’ Day which falls on 1st June. The main function of Voters’ Day in the year 2013 was held in Colombo and after 2014 steps were taken to carry out various programs for Voters’ Day in other districts as well. With the need for emphasizing the necessity of registering in the electoral register, many projects such as press conferences, motorcades, public meetings, walks, street dramas, short documentaries, distribution of handbills, displaying of posters, cutouts and banners etc., were implemented. In the year 2018,
13 the 9 main public awareness functions were conducted in Kegalle, Moneragala, Kalutara, Jaffna, Medawachchiya, Deniyaya, Saindamarudu, Kalpitiya and Rattota towns covering all provinces of the island. A major program was organized at the University of Peradeniya as part of the awareness program for registering the university community in the electoral register. Action was taken to conduct awareness campaigns in all districts of the country parallel to the major functions of Voters’ Day. In addition, various comprehensive public awareness programs were organized in all districts, covering every citizen including employees of private and public sector, farmer and fisher communities, estate sector employees and marginalized groups. Extensive support of the officers of the Head Office of the Election Commission, District Registering Officers/Government Agents and District Deputy/Assistant Commissioners of Elections and their staff and the utmost contribution of all stakeholders, which made the above island wide programs a success should be commended.
5.2. In relation to the Voters’ Day, door to door collection of enumeration forms in selected Grama Niladhari divisions of selected Municipal Council and Urban Council areas covering all districts was conducted on 03.06.2018 by the enumerators as well as officers of the Elections Offices. According to the observations of the District Deputy/Assistant Commissioners of Elections in this connection, it was an opportunity to identify genuine residents and to accept BC forms from them under these arrangements and hence the attempts to insert the names fraudulently especially with the view to getting the children admitted to popular schools could be minimized.
5.3 Parallel to the programs conducted for Voters’ Day 2018, awareness of students studying in universities and other higher educational institutions that is youth citizens, was raised on the sovereignty of the people, franchise, electoral register and the electoral process. Organization of a seminar jointly by the Election Commission and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) under this program, at Peradeniya University on June 5, 2018 was a remarkable event.
6. Parliamentary Elections Act, No.1 of 1981

One hundred and sixty four awareness programs were conducted at district level for other awareness programs in the four-year strategic plan of 2017-2020 other than the voters
16 day programs and 131 community-based awareness programs were also conducted to make aware the general public.
7.2. Legal Amendments
The Election Commission took action to submit the laws drafted by it on the control of election campaign, to the Legal Draftsman and thereby to the Attorney General.
Discussions relating to the amendment of the Assets and Liabilities Act were held with the Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption and action was taken by the Legal Division of the Election Commission to provide the necessary assistance to draft these amendments.
Special attention was drawn on the provisions of making deposits under the Provincial Councils Elections (Amendment) Act.
7.3. Other Facts
The terms of office of the North Central, Sabaragamuwa and Eastern Provincial Councils ended with effect from 01.10.2017, 26.09.2017 and 30.09.2017, respectively. Accordingly, even though the election to these provincial councils had to be held, they could not be held until the end of the work of the delimitation of the wards, relating to the mixed- member proportional representation introduced by Parliament through the amendment of the Provincial Councils Elections Act, No. 2 of 1988 by the Provincial Councils Elections (Amendment) Act, No. 17 of 2017. Further, the delimitation commission, appointed on October 2017 to demarcate wards in the Provincial Councils to hold the election under mixed proportional system, submitted the delimitation committee report in February 2018. However, it was rejected when it was submitted for the approval of the honorary Members of the Parliament on 24 August 2018. Therefore, in terms of the provisions in the Act, No. 17 of 2017 Hon. Speaker appointed a five member review committee, which was led by the Prime Minister to review the above commission report. The term of office of this committee is two months. Delimitation of electoral districts of the Provincial Councils will not be valid until the report of the Committee thereafter is submitted to the Hon. President and published through a Gazette notification.
Since the term of office of the Provincial Council in the Central, North and North Western Provinces ended in October 2018, the Election Commission took action to enlighten the Hon. Speaker, political parties represented in Parliament, other recognized political parties, civil organizations, mass media and interested citizens that the following two activities need be simultaneously carried out viz.,
17 (i) Approval of this delimitation review report and (ii) Correction of technical errors in the Provincial Councils Elections Act ( incorporating policy points when applicable)
to hold elections to the already expired Provincial Councils and elections to these three Provincial Councils promptly.
However, during this period, it was observed that some political parties and their leading politicians and citizens, through the media and through social networks, criticized the Election Commission, in particular its Chairman, that the Election Commission has the responsibility of holding the election, the Election Commission should take action to hold the election in accordance with the old proportional system with preferences, if there are disturbances to hold the election according to the newly proposed mixed proportional system and if not, the Election Commission has neglected its responsibilities.
Even though it has been pointed out that the elections cannot be held as per the new system until the tasks of the Review Committee and passing of amendments to acts in Parliament are finalized, and even to conduct elections as per the old system the Parliament has to take measures in that regard, the said criticisms are further being projected.

The Department of Elections that had been in existence for a period of 60 years was established as the Election Commission in terms of the provisions in the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, has not confined to its fundamental duties such as certification of the register of electors and conducting of elections. This has expanded its tasks according to the four year strategic plan to achieve the wide vision “A nation that safeguards universal franchise “and as its mission “To raise critical consciousness among all stakeholders, ensuring the protection of people’s rights and conduct free, fair and credible elections efficiently and effectively that safeguard the people’s sovereignty and universal franchise based on democratic principles“. Guidance of this highly challenging responsibility through an accurate path is now a major function of the Election Commission and in the year 2018, this work was successfully carried out.
Last Local Authorities Election, was an important and significant event since it was the first election held after the establishment of the Election Commission, the local authorities election held simultaneously throughout Sri Lanka and the introduction of a new electoral system consisting of proportional and ward systems. However, it should be specifically noted that the Commission was able to successfully achieve this challenging target and it could be properly achieved due to the support given by the officers of the Election Commission as well as every stakeholder including the officers of external institutions. It should also be stated that at this election opportunity was made to implement some measures, which were not used until this election to enforce election laws, to hold the election freely and fairly.
