The Election Commission has taken initiative to launch a digital platform to improve and expedite services provided by the commission.
Commissioner General of Elections, Rasika Pieris, announced that the public can now access essential services from the comfort of their homes through the “Election e-Services” platform. This initiative aims to streamline the process, allowing the general public to fulfill their requirements without the need to physically visit Grama Niladhari offices, District Election Offices, or the Election Commission headquarters.
By simply logging onto eservices.elections.gov.lk, scanning the official QR code, or navigating to ec.lk/es, citizens can accesess these in via a computer or smartphone. This digital gateway is accessible 24 hours a day, providing a flexible and efficient way to engage with the Commission from any location.
The platform offers an array of services include verifying draft information for the 2026 Voter Registry revision, applying for new registrations, and submitting online requests for a change of residence. Furthermore, citizens who have recently turned 18 but are not yet registered, as well as younger citizens who possess an NIC but are awaiting their 18th birthday, can now initiate their future registration through the portal.
In addition to registration, the e-Service allows users to retrieve voter records dating back to 2015 and obtain official Voter Registration Statements bearing the Commissioner General’s signature. Crucially, the system also provides a dedicated space for citizens with disabilities to submit requests for any special assistance they may require during the voting process.
Commissioner General of Elections, Rasika Pieris further noted that all these features are available under the “Citizens” tab on the website. To ensure a smooth user experience, detailed instructions for each specific service have been provided within their respective portals to guide the public through the process.
