The Election Commission said that the securities of 35 presidential candidates will be seized by the state following their failure to secure more than 12.5% of the vote in the 2024 election. 

Commissioner General of Elections Saman Sri Ratnayake confirmed that voter turnout exceeded 79%, slightly lower than the 83% recorded in the 2019 election.

Over 3.5 million eligible voters did not participate in this year's election.
