Sri Lankan general elections
Sri Lankan general elections are held every few years to elect members of Parliament, who make laws and govern the country. Citizens aged 18 and above vote to choose representatives through a proportional representation system, which ensures diverse political parties are fairly reflected. The election process involves campaigning, voting, and counting ballots. The party or coalition with the majority of seats forms the government, while the leader becomes the Prime Minister. These elections are fundamental for shaping Sri Lanka’s policies, economy, and governance, reflecting the will of the people in maintaining democracy.
