From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dodangaslanda electoral district was an
electoral district of
Sri Lanka between
August 1947 and
February 1989. The district was named after the town of
Dodangaslanda in
Kurunegala District,
North Western Province. The
1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka introduced the
proportional representation electoral system for
electing
members of
Parliament. The existing 160 mainly
single-member electoral districts were replaced with 22
multi-member
electoral districts.
[1] Dodangaslanda electoral district was replaced by the
Kurunegala multi-member electoral district at the
1989 general elections, the first under the proportional representation system.
