The Centre for Policy Alternatives hosted a discussion on the status of key issues in the areas of Governance, Human Rights, Accountability and Reconciliation during the first year of the NPP Administration.
The deadline will not be extended, Election Commission Chairman stressed. Those who miss it will face police referrals and future legal consequences under election law. (3/3)
He emphasized that all candidates—regardless of whether they spent funds or not—must submit expense reports within 21 days post-election, either in person or via a dedicated online portal. Offices nationwide will remain open until midnight to assist with submissions. (2/3)
Election Commission Chairman R.M.A.L. Rathnayake warns that legal action awaits any Local Government candidates who fail to submit financial disclosures by tonight’s deadline, as mandated by the Election Expenditure Regulation Act No. 03 of 2023. (1/3) #LGE2025#Srilanka
Preliminary findings from CMEV on the 2025 Local Govt Election (May 6): While election day saw no widespread violence, troubling signs of a re-emerging culture of electoral violations were observed. Read our preliminary report on what shaped the day: https://t.co/4iEODCIhMZ
When the highest executive calls for breaking election law, it’s not just political theatre—it’s a stress test for the system. CMEV urges swift action to restore public faith ahead of #LGE2025. Silence periods exist for a reason. (3/3)
CMEVs complaint: https://t.co/Lkm2JiNJev
On May 3rd, just hours before the silence period began, PM Harini Amarasuriya urged supporters to continue campaigning for NPP candidates—directly violating election regulations. CMEV has filed an official complaint. (1/3)
The Prime Minister’s public call to defy campaign silence rules isn’t just a regulatory breach—it undermines the very foundation of electoral fairness. With the statement caught on video and aired nationally, will accountability follow? (2/3)

ඡන්ද පත්රිකාව සලකුණු කිරීම 🗳️
ඔබ සහාය දීමට කැමති දේශපාලන පක්ෂයේ හෝ ස්වාධීන කණ්ඩායමේ සංකේතය හෝ නම අසල ඇති කොටුවේ කතිරය "X" ලකුණ තබන්න.
අපේක්ෂකයින්ගේ නම් සහ මනාප අංක ඡන්ද පත්රිකාවේ නොපෙන්වයි.
කතිරය "X" ලකුණ හැර වෙනත් කිසිදු සලකුණක් යෙදීමෙන් වළකින්න, එසේ කිරීමෙන් ඔබේ ඡන්දය අවලංගු ලෙස ප්රතික්ෂේප විය හැකිය.
வாக்குச்சீட்டில் குறியிடுதல்🗳️
நீங்கள் ஆதரிக்க விரும்பும் அரசியல் கட்சி அல்லது சுயேச்சைக் குழுவின் சின்னம் அல்லது பெயருக்கு அடுத்துள்ள பெட்டியில் "X" ஐ வைக்கவும்.
வேட்பாளர��களின் பெயர்கள் மற்றும் விருப்ப எண்கள் வாக்குச் சீட்டில் தோன்றாது.
"X" ஐத் தவிர வேறு எந்த அடையாளத்தையும் இடுவதைத் தவிர்க்கவும், அவ்வாறு செய்வது உங்கள் வாக்கு செல்லாததாக நிராகரிக்கப்படுவதற்கு வழிவகுக்கும்.
CMEV urges immediate action before polls open on May 6. Delay makes the ECSL complicit. A strong stand now protects voter trust, electoral credibility, and the future of democratic norms. CMEVs complaint to ECSL here: https://t.co/HoaOvUbmvi (3/3)
CMEV has raised a serious concern ahead of the #LGE2025 in #SriLanka: Two candidates have been nominated by two different political parties each—for the same local government authorities. This is not just irregular. It’s a breach of electoral integrity. (1/3) #SriLanka
This violates electoral law and deceives voters. Official ECSL data, posters & social media confirm this duplicity. To ignore it is to normalize fraud. The Constitution mandates the ECSL to ensure free & fair elections—not just count ballots. (2/3)
