The Election Commission has directed all candidates from the 2025 Local Government Elections to submit their campaign income and expenditure reports by May 28, in accordance with the Election Expenditure Regulation Act No. 03 of 2023.
Commissioner General Saman Sri Ratnayake said the move aims to promote transparency in the electoral process.
