- Source: List of Polling divisions of Sri Lanka
Polling divisions in Sri Lanka are subdivisions of the country's electoral districts. From the 1st parliamentary election in 1947 to the 8th in 1977, members were elected to the parliament using a first-past-the-post system from these polling divisions. This system changed in 1978.
The 1978 Constitution introduced a proportional representation electoral system, electing Members of Parliament from 22 multi-member electoral districts.
All but two electoral districts correspond to their respective administrative districts. The exceptions are Jaffna, covering both Jaffna District and Kilinochchi District, and Vanni, covering Mannar District, Mullaitivu District, and Vavuniya District. The first general election under this system was the 1989 election.
Polling divisions are still maintained for declaring election results, and for administrative purposes to facilitate the management and organisation of electoral processes.
