The Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
(2) Each Province of Sri Lanka may itself constitute
an electoral district or may be divided into two or more
electoral districts.
(3) Where a Province is divided into a number of
electoral districts the Delimitation Commission shall have
regard to the existing administrative districts so as to
ensure as far as is practicable that each electoral district
shall be an administrative district or a combination of two
or more administrative districts or two or more electoral
districts together constitute an administrative district.
(4) The electoral districts of each Province shall
together be entitled to return four members, (independently
of the number of members which they are entitled to
return by reference to the number of electors whose names
appear in the registers of electors of such electoral districts)
and the Delimitation Commission shall apportion such
entitlement equitably among such electoral districts.
(5) In the event of a difference of opinion among the
members of the Delimitation Commission, the opinion of
the majority thereof shall prevail and shall be deemed to be
the decision of the Commission. Where each member of
the Commission is of a different opinion, the opinion of the
Chairman shall be deemed to be the decision of the
Commission. Any dissentient member may state his
reasons for such dissent.
(6) The Chairman of the Delimitation Commission
shall communicate the decisions of the Commission

member to the President.
