Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya expressed his gratitude for the Facebook users who assisted the Elections Department to conduct a free and fair election.

Publishing a statement on the Elections Department Facebook Page, Deshapriya said that he expected their support in the future elections too.

The Elections Department was actively engaged in the social media front through its Facebook Page during the 2015 General Election. There was also a Facebook page titled 'Tell Commissioner-Sri Lanka Elections' through which the public could report instances of election law violations.
