In Sri Lanka, all arrangements are in place for local body elections tomorrow. Polling will begin at 7 AM and ends at 4 PM to elect 8,325 candidates for 340 Local Government bodies. Around 1.58 crore voters are eligible to exercise their franchise during elections which are considered crucial for national politics too. <br/><br/>A ten-member group of elections observers, including four from India, have been deployed to monitor the poll process. <br/><br/>Former President Mahinda Rajapakse is trying to make a comeback through an opposition alliance while popularity of unity government led by President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, is under test. <br/><br/>Both leaders are fighting each other through their coalitions, which has added further interest to the contest. <br/><br/>This is the first time a mixed electoral system is being followed wherein 60 per cent of the members will be elected on a first-past-the-post system (FPP), while the rest will be on proportional representation (PR). <br/><br/>The counting of votes and postal votes will commence after the conclusion of voting. Results for candidates getting elected through FPP will start coming tomorrow night itself but the overall picture will be clear by Sunday evening only.
