Wennappuwa electoral district was an electoral district of Sri Lanka between March 1960 and February 1989. The district was named after the town of Wennappuwa in 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.[1] Wennappuwa electoral district was replaced by the Puttalam multi-member electoral district at the 1989 general elections. ## Contents * 1 Members of Parliament * 2 Elections * 2.1 1960 (March) Parliamentary General Election * 2.2 1960 (July) Parliamentary General Election * 2.3 1965 Parliamentary General Election * 2.4 1970 Parliamentary General Election * 2.5 1977 Parliamentary General Election * 3 References ## Members of Parliament[edit] Key Independent Sri Lanka Freedom Party UNP Election | Member | Party | Term | | | | 1960 (March) | | | | 1960 (July) | | | | 1965 | | | | 1970 | | | | 1977 | | | ## Elections[edit] ### 1960 (March) Parliamentary General Election[edit] Candidate | Party | Symbol | Votes | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valid Votes | | 100.00% Rejected Votes | | Total Polled | | Registered Electors | | Turnout | ### 1960 (July) Parliamentary General Election[edit] Candidate | Party | Symbol | Votes | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valid Votes | | 100.00% Rejected Votes | | Total Polled | | Registered Electors | | Turnout | ### 1965 Parliamentary General Election[edit] Candidate | Party | Symbol | Votes | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valid Votes | | 100.00% Rejected Votes | | Total Polled | | Registered Electors | | Turnout | ### 1970 Parliamentary General Election[edit] Candidate | Party | Symbol | Votes | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valid Votes | | 100.00% Rejected Votes | | Total Polled | | Registered Electors | | Turnout | ### 1977 Parliamentary General Election[edit] Candidate | Party | Symbol | Votes | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valid Votes | | 100.00% Rejected Votes | | Total Polled | | Registered Electors | | Turnout | ## References[edit] 1. ^ "The Electoral System".
