The story of Eheliyagoda as an electoral district is a fascinating chapter in Sri Lanka’s political history. Established in July 1977, it served as a crucial electoral zone until February 1989, marking a period of significant transition in the country’s electoral system.
Eheliyagoda’s journey as an electoral district began against the backdrop of Sri Lanka’s evolving political landscape. It was a time when the country was embracing changes that would redefine its parliamentary representation.
The 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka was a turning point, introducing the proportional representation electoral system. This marked the end of Eheliyagoda’s era as a primarily single-member electoral district, transitioning it into part of a larger multi-member electoral district framework.
