Hiriyala Electoral District

The district was named after the town of Hiriyala 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. Hiriyala electoral district was replaced by the Kurunegala multi-member electoral district at the 1989 general elections.
