for the year 2010, holding of elections to Local Authorities, filling of vacancies in the

membership in Parliament, Provincial Councils and Local Authorities were the main activities

of the Department of Elections in the year 2011.

2.0 Registration of Electors Act No: 44 of 1980

2.1 Revision of the Electoral Register - 2010

2.1.1 The enumeration of electors for the year 2010 was commenced on 01.06.2010. The notice under Section 12(1) of Registration of Electors

Act No: 44 of 1980 was published in Gazette No: 1656/20 of 01.06.2010

to inform the eligible persons the method of including names into the

electoral register 2010 and the same notice was published in Sinhala,

Tamil and English news papers as well on the same day.

2.1.2 Instructions were issued to the Registering Officers on the enumeration of electors in all electoral Districts and steps were taken by the

Commissioner of Elections on 20.04.2010 to inform the Secretaries of

Recognized Political Parties on the revision and on the appointment of

representatives of political parties for the purpose.

2.1.3 After the completion of the task of enumerators the “A” and “B” lists were prepared and the operative electoral registers were exhibited along

with them from 01.01.2011 - 28.01.2011. An opportunity for the

submission of claims and objections for the year 2010 also was provided

for the public during this period. The notice under Sections 13(2) of

Registrations of Electors Act in this connection was published in

Gazette No: 1634/29 of January 01st, 2011 and in the news papers.

2.1.4 Number of claims and objections received by District Registering Officers during this period is shown in Table I. 97,215 claims and 573

objections were received from all Electoral Districts

2.1.5 After the operations launched to defeat terrorist groups in the Northern Province in the year 2009, Government took steps to settle displaced

families in welfare camps mainly established in Vavuniya. In addition,

a considerable number of such families were living in temporary

residences of their choice. Those families were from almost all polling

divisions of the Northern Province, but most of them were from

Kilinochchi, Mullativu , Mannar and Vavuniya polling divisions.

2.1.6 The resettlement of displaced families had to start only after defining is completed and security situation of resettled areas is confirmed by

security forces. Resettlement had to be carried out in stages and

therefore, there were a large number of areas unsettled even by 01st June,

2010.

2

2.1.7 Resettlement activities of displaced families were more prevalent Kilinochchi and Mullativu polling divisions at the time of enumeration

of electors for 2010. Action was taken this year to open an Election

Office in the Mullativu District in addition to Election Office in the

Kilinochchi District. The number of voters enumerated house to house in

these polling divisions for 2010, was more than in 2009.

2.1.8 According to the Registration of Electors Act, the period for calling of claims and objections relevant to a revision year of the electoral register,

can be postponed only up to the end of January in the following year,

maximum. Accordingly claims and objections were allowed for 28 days

of January 2011. This step was taken especially to ensure that the

displaced persons get registered.

2.1.9 It was revealed that most of displaced families from Mannar district had put up their own permanent houses in Puttalam. Most of them did not

like to get their names registered in the Puttalam District, but were trying

to register their names in the electoral register of Mannar under their

previous residential address. Therefore the number of persons submitted

claims for registration in Mannar polling division was high and that

number was 20,251. Action was taken to appoint Deputy/ Senior

Assistant and Assistant Commissioners of Elections of other Electoral

Districts as Assistant Registering Officers for Vanni Electoral District in

order to expedite the process of holding inquiries over claims, within

the limited period.

2.1.10 The displaced electors who have not been resettled by the time of the enumeration of the 2010 revision of electoral registers in the North were

registered for year 2010 in their previous resident areas without any

change and the details of those polling districts are shown in the

Table II.

2.1.11 Though there were some difficulties in enumerating the electors in the Northern Province for 2010, it could be completed through the

distribution of BC forms among chief occupants and therefore the errors

in the electoral registers of that area were minimal.

2.1.12 Section 12(7) of Enumeration of Electors Act No: 44 of 1980 stipulates steps that should be taken in regard to plural registration. The Computer

software used for the preparation of Electoral Registers in all electorates

for 2010, provides with a facility to obtain reports on persons who have

registered their names in several address in an electorate with same

National Identity Card numbers.

2.1.13 When Districts Registering Officers detected that persons have asked for their names to be registered in more than once place, they were informed

to register their names under one address and steps were taken to register

them accordingly avoiding plural registration. Thus 44,123 names of

plural registration were deleted from the electoral registers in 2010, and

15,986 names out of that were in Colombo Electoral District. Details in

this connection are shown in Table III.

2.1.14 Electoral Registers for 2010 was certified on 31st May 2011 in terms of Section 18 of Registration of Electors Act. The notice to that effect in

terms of Section 20 of the Act was published in Gazette No: 1708/13 of

31.05.2011 and in newspapers.

2.1.15 The determination of the Commissioner of Elections in terms of sub Article 98(8) of the Constitution on the number of Members to be

elected for each electoral district is made on the basis of certifications

made by District Registering Officers under Section 23 of Registration

of Elector Act after certifying the Electoral Registers. This Order was

published in the Gazette No: 1715 / 4 of July 18th

, 2011.

2.1.16 Accordingly the number of members for Jaffna Electorate was decreased by 4 and the number of members of electoral districts of No: 08 -

Matara, No: 15- Kurunegala, No: 19 - Badulla and No: 21 - Ratnapura

was increased by one each. Decreasing of the number of members of

Jaffna Electorate was highlighted by politicians in the Northern Province

and the media as an act done purposely. Therefore a clarification by the

Commissioner of Elections in this connection was published through

media and detailed descriptions in the Department Website.

2.1.17 The total number of members to be elected for the Parliament at the general elections is 196, and out of that 160 Members have to be elected

from electorates. This Number is distributed by the Commissioner of

Elections annually under Article 98(8) of the Constitution, in proportion

to the number of electors registered in each electorate as reported by

District Registering Officers after certification of electoral register. The

balance 36 Members to be elected were allocated to 22 electoral districts

under Article 96(4) of the Constitution by the Delimitation Commission

on the criteria stipulated in the Constitution. That number of members

allocated for each electorate never changes. Since the electors in Jaffna

Electorate have not been enumerated house to house for a long period,

the names of deceased electors as well as of those who are not living in

the electorate also were included in this register until 2009. But in 2010,

the electors of Jaffna electorate also were enumerated house to house

and as a result the number of electors for 2010 has been reduced

drastically. Consequently the number of members to be elected for

Jaffna Electorate on the basis of he number of electors has been reduced

and the details are shown in the following Table.

6.2 Steps taken in connection with the poll.

6.2.1 The specific feature of the elections held on nomination notices published on 06.01.2011 and 04.08.2011, was the higher number of

recognized Political Parties and Independent Groups that submitted

nominations. It was observed that robot parties and groups were put

forward for the elections by some Political Parties to fulfill their own

motives .

Apart from that some candidates displayed their preferential numbers

assigned to them with the names of popular persons and their

photographs, in handbills, to mislead the voters with the aim of

collecting preferences. Prompt action was taken in such occasions.

6.2.2 Due to the Proportional Representation System, it was observed that there was competition between political parties and among the

candidates of the same party. Therefore number of complaints received

was high after nominations, on displaying of illegal posters, banners,

cutouts and misusing of public property for the election campaign.

Commissioner of Elections took appropriate action and informed such

activities to the Inspector General of Police and other related institutions

to remove such items and to take necessary action.

6.2.3 Holding of these elections at three stages may be one reason for the increase of illegal activities at the election campaign. Under these

circumstances, Political Parties in power put more pressure in electoral

areas. With the increase of illegal election propaganda activities, election

violence also took place. It has been clearly visible that the directives of

he Commission of Elecions issued in regard with the establishment of

party offices have been neglected.

6.2.4 Illegal Political campaigns and election related violence was one of the main topics at the consultative meetings convened by the Commissioner

of Elections to ensure fair and peaceful elections, where IGP and

Secretaries of Political Parties represented.

As the responsibility of enforcement of laws is with the Police including

the IGP, instructions were issued to that effect. Alternative steps were

taken having considered the requests made by the party Secretaries at the

consultative meetings at previous elections, were considered to be

implemented.

I. Taking a report from the District Returning Officers on displaying of illegal election propaganda items and referring it to

the IGP.

6.3 Pre election period and poll day

6.3.1 The poll day was calm at the recent elections, though the pre election period recorded troubles to some extent. The contest prevailed between

6.3.2 The Commissioner of Elections published through media and informed the Secretaries of Political Parties that he would take necessary action to

annul the poll at polling stations if any disturbances for the poll

effective since the Local Authority Elections in 2006. These steps were

instrumental in the calm atmosphere on the poll day.

6.3.3 Reports on the poll were received from Senior Presiding Officers, Police Officers, on duty at polling stations. Observers who were at polling

Trading and Constructions Private Limited, No: 14/15, Vajira Road, Colombo

04. As a grenade was found in the site of the building when it was cleared after

the flood situation in the area, the site had to be checked. The site was inspected

by the military officials of Minneriya Army Camp with the guidance of the

Ministry of Defence and, constructions work could be started only after getting

a certificate on the security of the area from the relevant security authorities.

Most of the work of the building was carried out at the end of the year 2011

and it is expected to complete the entire work during the 1st month of 2012.

the Assistant Commissioner of Elections, Batticaloa on the request made by the

Department.

10.0 Financial Information

10.1 The recurrent expenditure for year 2011 was Rs. 2,161 million and it indicates a decrease of Rs. 1,834 millions when compared with the previous year. This

increase in the year 2010 was due to the holding of two national elections in that

year.

10.2 Rs. 2126.8 million was expended on Local Authorities Elections at the rate of Rs. 148.57 per each elector. Generally Rs. 1,900/- million is spent on a national

election. The cost of election of the year has gone up because these elections

were held at three separate stages.

16

10.3 The capital expenditure was Rs. 54.4 million and when it is compared with Rs. 44.3 million in 2011 it shows an increase of 10 million. This increase was due

to the completion of construction work of Battcaloa Elections Office, buying a

new crew cab, buying a new jeep for the Commissioner of Elections and the

supply of new machinery and furniture for District Elections Offices.

10.4 It was impossible to meet the demand for loans from the Advance Account during this year. The loans granted in this year was Rs. 9.8 million and in 2010

that amount was Rs. 15.5 million. The reason for the decrease in granting loans

was the lower level of financial allocations for the purpose.

10.5 The cost for the preparation of electoral register for 2011 was Rs. 102 million. It was about Rs. 100 million in the previous year and this shows an increase of

2% of the cost of this year.

10.6 Most of the electoral registers prepared as books were used for Local Authority Elections held this year. Therefore the request made by Government

Institutions and Political Parties were managed with the softcopies of the

register . By selling these softcopies of electoral registers, department earned

about Rs. 1 million and Rs. 2 million rupees from issuing of extracts of electoral

registers.
