Next Sri Lankan local elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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][5] Currently, there is no official date scheduled for the elections.
