Pradeshiya Sabha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Legislative body in Sri Lanka. For Provincial Legislature in Nepal, see Provincial Assembly (Nepal).

There are 276 Pradeshiya Sabhas in Sri Lanka, which are the legislative bodies that preside over the third tier municipalities in the country.[1] Introduced in 1987 through the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka, Pradeshiya Sabhas became a devolved subject under the Provincial Councils in the Local Government system of Sri Lanka.[2] The Pradeshiya Sabhas collectively govern approximately 16,726,000 people. There are 3,624 Councillors in total, ranging from 5 to 23 per council.[3][4]
