Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha Election: Key dates and procedures announced

Date:

August 26, Colombo (LNW): The National Election Commission has released the official schedule for the upcoming election of the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha.

Candidates interested in participating will be able to submit their deposits from 26 August to 11 September 2024.

Nominations for the election will be accepted from 09 to 12 September.

All submissions will be processed at the Galle District Secretariat, as specified by the Returning Officer for the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha.

The term of the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha, which began in November 2019, officially concluded on 06 March 2024 following the repeated failure of the budget proposal.

This persistent budget defeat led to the appointment of a Special Commissioner, as stipulated by the Local Council Act.

Additionally, Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena issued a special gazette extending the term of the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha members until 04 November 2024.

This extension allows for a smooth transition and preparation for the upcoming election.
