The Election Commission of Sri Lanka has released a circular outlining the maximum campaign spending limits for candidates, parties, independent groups, and national list candidates for the 2024 General Election. These limits are based on district allocations.

The upcoming national elections, including the 2024 General Election, will be conducted under new campaign finance laws, restricting the funding that candidates and political entities can spend. This follows the implementation of similar limits during the 2024 Presidential Election held in September.

The Election Commission had consulted with various stakeholders to establish these limits and discussed how to effectively implement the laws. All parties are required to submit their expenditure reports within 21 days of the election results being declared.

The parliamentary election is scheduled for November 14, 2024, with postal voting taking place on October 30, November 01, and 04 across all District Secretariats and election offices. Specific spending limits for each district will be shared accordingly.
