Parliament introduces online registration for newly elected MPs

The Parliament Secretariat has introduced an ‘’Online Registration System’’ for the newly elected members of the 9th Parliament to submit their personal details to the Parliament Secretariat.

Accordingly, all Members of Parliament could complete the online application form by visiting the official website of Parliament to provide their information, Secretary General of Parliament Dhammika Dasanayake said.

Dasanayake said that the process of filling up the application should be completed before the 15th.

The Secretary General said that due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the parliament had introduced several digital mechanisms in its activities and the virtual registration was one of those initiatives.

Dasanayake said that this online system was introduced for the convenience of the Members of Parliament and accordingly they could submit information while staying in their constituencies without travelling to the Parliament.

The elected Members of Parliament can obtain this application form by visiting the website https://registration.parliament.lk and using the relevant password they can send their information.

The Parliament Secretariat said that the online information gathering system should be completed as soon as possible as their biographical information is mandatory for swearing in and other proceedings.
