Local elections were held in Sri Lanka on 6 May 2025[1][2][3][4] According to the Election Commission of Sri Lanka, of the 17,296,330 registered voters nationwide, 17,156,338 were eligible to vote in this election. Voters elected 8,793 members for a four-year term to 339 of the 341 local authorities in the country, comprising 28 municipal councils, 36 urban councils, and 275 pradeshiya sabhas.[5][6][7][8]

The ruling National People's Power (NPP) emerged as the largest party, winning 3,927 council seats and securing 43.26% of the vote, a notable decline from their result in the parliamentary elections the previous year.[9][10] Voter turnout was relatively low, recorded at 61.88%,[11] compared to 79.46% in the recent presidential election and 68.93% in the parliamentary election.
