The People’s Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL) has called on all eligible citizens to ensure their names are included in the 2026 electoral register, as the voter enumeration process began on February 1.
PAFFREL urged young citizens who turn 18 between February 1, 2025, and January 31, 2027, to register through their local Grama Niladhari by submitting the YC form.
Those who were not listed in last year’s register but are now eligible must apply using the ER form, PAFFREL said.
Executive Director Rohana Hettiarachchi stressed that being listed in the register is essential to vote in any election and said it is both a right and a civic duty. He encouraged the public to spread awareness among family, friends, and colleagues.
