Next Sri Lankan local elections

← 2018 TBD

8,711 members[a] to 340 local authorities (24 Municipal Councils, 41 Urban Councils and 275 Divisional Councils)

Local elections have not been held in Sri Lanka since 2018. Elections were originally scheduled to be held in 2022, but were postponed to 2023 due to the worsening economic crisis and instability in the country, before being postponed again several times by the government of President Ranil Wickremesinghe.[1][2][3][4] Currently, there is no official date scheduled for the elections.

More than 16.6 million Sri Lankans are eligible to elect 8,711 members[a] to 340 local authorities comprising 24 Municipal Councils, 41 Urban Councils and 275 Pradeshiya Sabha councils.[5]
