FNAL REPORT
2N APRIL 2004 - GENERAL ELECTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
a) The political context The General Election of 2" April 2004 was announced following
a series of political events that reflected and in turn, reinforced the intensification of political competition and rivalry throughout the island.
At the end of October 2003, the LTTE submitted their proposal for an Interim Self-Governing Authority (ISGA) to the Government of Sri Lanka. This move was seen as a prelude to the recommencement of talks between the Government and the LTTE, which had broken down in April 2003. Shortly afterwards, on November 3, President Kumaratunga exercised her executive powers and asserted her primary role in the political arena by taking over the three critical portfolios of Defense, Media and Information and the Interior and by proroguing Parliament for an initial period of two weeks. This brought the security forces and

Police entirely under her direct control and allowed her to effect changes in the state-owned media as well.
The President argued that her actions were necessitated by a deteriorating security situation in respect of the North and East. After some attempts to create a spirit of dialogue and negotiation within the southern Sinhala polity, with a view to a speedy return to the peace process, the Norwegian government announced on November 14 that they would be withdrawing from their role as facilitator of the Sri Lankan peace process until the situation improved.
Although the President exerted her authority over government at a time when Prime Minister Wickremasinghe was out of the island, soon after his return she invited him to join her in a national government. The international community urged the President and the Prime Minister to arrive at a consensus on sharing power in the south and to move towards the recommencement of negotiations with the LTTE. A delegation of the European Union led by Chris Patten, Commissioner for External Relations visited the island in late November and lent their voice to the calls for a southern consensus and a return to the peace negotiations. During November and December, UNP Chairman Malik Samarawickrema and Presidential Advisor Mano Tittawella met regularly in order to reach a cohabitation agreement. The prevailing tensions between the two mainstream southern political parties could not be resolved however, and a cohabitation agreement proved elusive. As a consequence, on 7" February 2004, the President dissolved Parliament and announced 2nd April as the date for fresh elections.

Page 9
The dissolution of Parliament led to the formation of several new political coalitions and alliances. The PA (constituting the SLFP, the SLMP, the SLCP and the LSSP) aligned itself with the JVP in spite of what seemed to be opposing positions regarding the peace process. Ferial Ashraffo's National Unity Alliance (NUA) remained within the fold of what became known as the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA). Tensions within the TULF emerged and resulted in a division between Mr. Anandasangaree, the Secretary, and other members. As a consequence, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) was no longer able to contest the election under the TULF symbol of the rising sun and had to return to the old Federal Party nomenclature, the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK). Other minority parties such as the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and the Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC) contested the election in alliance with the United National Party (UNP) under the United National Front (UNF) banner. A notable feature of the election was the entry of members of the Buddhist Sangha into the electoral fray. In alliance with the Sihala Urumaya Party they contested under the banner of the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU).
Issues such as the voting rights of displaced persons, the use of National Identity Cards for purposes of identification for obtaining one’s vote, and the voting rights of migrant workers which had been raised time and again by political parties and by election monitoring groups over the past years remained unresolved as the General Election of 2004 approached. The voting rights of persons living in areas under LTTE control in the North and East was a matter of particular concern.
2

Following a series of discussions between the LTTE and government officials regarding the latter issue, arrangements were made to set up clustered polling booths in no mans land between the areas controlled by the Government and the LTTE, respectively, in the Vanni and the North as well as in the Government controlled areas adjacent to the LTTE controlled areas in the East. Although there were many issues of security and logistics, such as transport, these were resolved to the extent that a large number of voters residing in areas controlled by the LTTE had the opportunity to exercise their franchise for the first time in over 15 years. However, the LTTE did not permit any other political party or group to campaign within the areas under their control. Consequently, these voters were denied the right to exercise a free and informed choice of candidate at the polls.
The decision by the LTTE's Eastern leader, Karuna to carve out a special role for the Eastern Tamils in terms of the LTTE political and administrative structures in March 2004 was met with resistance by the Vanni-based leadership. This led to tensions emerging in the North and East throughout the election campaign period. The fact that the 05 politically motivated killings that took place during the campaign were carried out in the Eastern Province, bears testimony to the seriousness of the situation.
b) Organization of the Election Nominations for the Parliamentary elections were received at the District level commencing 17 February 2004. By the time nominations closed on 24" February 2004, candidates from 24 political parties (from a total of 51 political parties registered with the Elections Commissioner) and 192 independent groups had filed their nomination papers.

Page 10
The number of registered voters for this election was 12,899,038 covered by 10,670 polling centres. In the North and East, cluster polling stations were set up for the voters living in the areas under LTTE control.
The April 2004 General Election was the first to benefit from the powers and institutions provided for under the 17" Amendment to the Constitution, passed in September 2001. Civil society pressure in particular, based on the level of violence and malpractice in previous elections, served as the catalyst for this amendment. The 17" Amendment provided for the establishment of a number of independent commissions including an Elections Commission, Police Commission and Public Service Commission. All commissions were to be nominated by the Constitutional Council which was constituted in March 2002. Deadlock between the President and the Constitutional Council over the members of the Election Commission has prevented the establishment of this crucial institution. However, the 17" Amendment empowers the Commissioner of Elections to exercise all the powers of the Commission until it is duly constituted.
Consequently, the Commissioner of Elections, Mr. Dayananda Dissanayake remained in control of the entire elections operation, while the Police Department appointed a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) to be the senior Police officer in charge of the Police Elections Secretariat situated at Police Headquarters in Colombo.
A key feature of these elections was the determination of the Election Commissioner to exercise the powers made available to him under the 17" Amendment. Whilst these powers could have been more forcefully exercised for instance over the state

controlled media, the annulment of polls and re polling in certain areas, the performance of the Election Commissioner was widely cited as being responsible for the low level of violence and malpractice outside of the North and East. Also cited in this respect was the role of the Police augmented by that of the National Police Commission, despite some criticism of police transfers made during this period.
The April 2004 General Election was also the first election in which the Commissioner granted local monitors official permission to enter Polling Centres on Election Day. However, permission was not extended to Counting Centres.
c) The Election Campaign Throughout the election campaign, the Police were vigilant in the maintenance of election laws and, for example, tore down posters which contravened those laws on a regular and systematic basis with the cooperation of municipal and local government employees. While the active engagement of the Police in this matter was helpful to smaller candidates carrying out their campaigns, it also acted as a deterrent to some types of violence. For example, in the April 2004 there were far less a number of complaints regarding attacks on party members and supporters while putting up posters than before.
As in previous elections, there continued to be concern regarding the manipulation of the electoral process by both the state-owned and privately-owned media. Organizations that monitored the media during the campaign, including the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) a constituent member of CMEV, commented on the blatant bias reflected in different sections of the media according to their political affiliation. As in other elections, in

Page 11
this one too, when the issue of pro-government bias within the state-owned media was raised, the response from the government was to justify this on the grounds that the privately-owned media blatantly favoured the opposition. Thus, the issue of the role of the state-owned media during an election campaign continued to be as contentious during the April 2004 elections as in previous elections.
CMEV repeatedly called upon the Commissioner of Elections to exercise his powers under the 17" Amendment and appoint a Competent Authority to take over the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation. The Commissioner did so on 29" March 2004, the first of the two day interregnum between the end of the campaign and polling day. No campaigning is permitted on these two days.
CMEV also expressed concern over the high rate of use of firearms in incidents of violence during the election." Although there have been sporadic attempts made by the authorities to recover unlicensed fire arms in the hands of politicians and their supporters, CMEV is of the opinion that the presence of large numbers of such weapons in the hands of unauthorized persons continues to pose a grave threat to the integrity of the electoral process.
d) North and East
The most disturbing acts of violence during the election campaign were from the Eastern Province, where tensions between two factions of the LTTE exacerbated the levels of fear and
Press Release of March 18, 2004

intimidation in general. Reiteration of the issues raised in CMEV statements during the election campaign is therefore in order.
- On 1° March , Mr. Sinnethamby Sunderamapillai, UNF candidate for Batticaloa District, was shot dead while warded in the General Hospital in Batticaloa for treatment following injuries sustained in an earlier attack.
- Ꮕn 2"Ꮰ March. Mr. Ponniah Rajendran, member of the EPDP, was shot dead in Valaichchenai (Batticaloa District) outside the EPDP office;
- On 17" March, the body of a worker in the SLMC office in Sammanturai was found under suspicious circumstances,
- On 23' March, T. Tiruchelvam, Senior Lecturer of the Agriculture Faculty at the Eastern University in Batticaloa was shot and injured at his home in Kallady, Batticaloa,
- On 27" March. Government Agent and Chief Returning Officer for the Elections in Batticaloa, Mr. R. Maunaguruswamy was shot and injured in Pillayaradi. Batticalioa;
- On 30" March. TNA candidate Mr. Rajan Sathyamoorthy was shot and killed in Batticaloa along with his brother-inlaw, Mr. Kanagasabai,
In addition, Tamil politicians and candidates were targeted outside the Eastern Province including in Colombo, with two incidents of Attempted Murder recorded for 27" March 2004. On attempt was made on the life of former UNF Minister for Hindu Affairs while the other was on Kandiah Sangaran, candidate on the National List of the EPDP.

Page 12
This situation of heightened insecurity in the North and East imposed severe constraints on candidates from all political parties in carrying on with their election campaign. Direct threats as well as the general atmosphere of fear and intimidation led to the resignation of several candidates. In addition, recruiting polling agents for Election Day became a problem for many of the nonTNA candidates.
In this context, CMEV reaffirmed its position that the ability of all candidates to campaign throughout the North and East was integral to a free and fair election and reiterated its conviction that every voter in Sri Lanka must be able to exercise their franchise and must also be able to make a free and fair choice between contesting political parties and candidates.
CMEV called on the Police and the LTTE as the two main actors who have the capacity to ensure the safety and security of all candidates and their supporters in the North and East to take on their primary responsibility in this regard and demonstrate that rhetorical commitments are backed up with effective action. CMEV cited the judgement delivered by the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka in December 2000 in the case of Mediwaka and others vs. the Commissioner of Elections, in which it has been clearly stated that A genuine democratic election by universal and equal suffrage demands.... ensuring that during the pre-election period all candidates are allowed the freedom to campaign on equal terms and without unreasonable restrictions, with election laws being enforced, and uniformly enforced... It also quoted the Amnesty International Press Release of 27" February 2004, in which the organization expressed its particular concern that candidates and supporters of
CMEV Press Release of March 1, 2004 Press Release of March 2, 2004

the Tamil political parties not allied to the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) - which the LTTE is backing in the elections - may become targets for assassination.
e) Election Day: 2"April The initial statement issued by CMEV on Election Day, 2" April 2004, stated that the General Election had been considerably and qualitatively less violent than that of December 2001.
However, CMEV issued separate reports on the monitoring of the polls in the Jaffna and Digamadulla Districts of the North and East.
In the report on the Jaffna District, CMEV stated that polling in that district had been subjected to well-organized and systematic impersonation, and therefore called for an annulment of the poll followed by a re-poll of the District.
In its report on the Batticaloa and Digamadulla Districts, CMEV referred to reports of the intimidation of polling agents and widespread impersonation and called for an annulment of the polls in the Polling Divisions of Sammanturai, Putovil and Kalmunai and a re-poll of these Divisions.
CMEV MONITORING
By the end of April 2004, a total of 2,303 incidents of violence were identified by CMEV as election related. Of this total, 448 occurred on Polling Day followed by 108 incidents of violence during the post election period, including 02 Murders. On Polling Day, CMEV observed 6,845 Polling Centres. CMEV stationary Monitors were deployed in 4,074 of these throughout the voting process. Three hundred and seventy four (374) Polling Centres were identified as

Page 13
problematic on account of malpractices and incidents of violence in the vicinity.
On Polling Day, CMEV deployed 34 staff members in its Colombo HQ, 20 District Coordinators in 20 districts, 153 Field Monitors in 141 Polling Divisions and 4,074 Election Day Monitors who observed 6,845 Polling Centres. Colombo staff included Provincial Coordinators and Assistant Coordinators as well as the members of the Tabulation Team. Seventy five (75) individuals were deployed in 32 Mobile Teams on Election Day and 25 International Observers were deployed along with interpreters and other support staff Election Day Monitors and Mobile Team Monitors aside, all other Monitors were deployed throughout the campaign. International Observers were deployed two weeks to ten days before Polling Day.
The structure of the monitoring exercise was the same as employed in previous elections with Field Monitors in Polling Divisions throughout the campaign reporting to District Coordinators and to their Provincial counterparts in the Colombo HQ. Information received from the field was corroborated at both District level and by the Colombo HQ staff before being incorporated in Media Communiques for release to the public. Approximately 30 Election Day Monitors for each Polling Division were deployed on Election Day". CMEV monitored post-election violence from 3rd to 10th April 2004.
* Please note that the number of monitors mentioned here represents the actual figure, and is different from the numbers mentioned in the CMEV Interim Report on the Campaign of 31 March 2004, reproduced below in the section on Pre Election Violence, and the CMEV Interim Report on Election Day of 7 April 2004, reproduced below in the section on Election Day Violence. The said Interim Reports contain available figures as of the dates of issue, but have been subsequently revised to represent the accurate mumber of monitors deployed by CMEV.

The fi gures provided in the CMEV Interim Reports of 31 March and 7" April 2004, pertaining to the election campaign and Election Day violence (reproduced in the sections on Pre Election Violence and Election Day Violence, respectively, below) are provisional ones, as were available at the time of issue. The final tally of all incidents during the campaign and on Election Day following the collation and tabulation of all reports is provided, in the figures and tables following the Interim Reports in the sections on Pre Election Violence and Election Day Violence.
In addition to its monitoring of election violence and malpractice, CMEV collaborated with the Sri Lanka chapter of Transparency International (TI) and the Institute of Human Rights on a Programme for the Protection of Public Resources (PPPR). This programme monitored the misuse of public property during the General Election of April 2004. PPPR has published a separate report on its findings. CMEV also launched an island wide poster campaign against electoral Violence and malpractice.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Election Commission as provided for under the 17" Amendment should be constituted without delay. It is indeed ironic that the commission dealing with the area of democratic practice that provided the catalyst for the 17" Amendment has not been established.

Page 14
In previous elections as well, CMEV focused on the need to effect changes to the procedure for applying and obtaining postal votes. In the April 2004 General Election, CMEV monitors recorded complaints of government servants who had been unable to cast their votes due to bureaucratic tangles. For example, the form requesting allocation of postal votes requires the applicant to record the number and location of his or her polling station. Many voters did not have this information, and their forms were rejected on the basis that they were incomplete. The application procedure for postal votes should be made more user friendly and less complicated.
The issue of the franchise of Sri Lankans temporarily resident abroad, especially the franchise of the migrant worker community, was once again raised by several groups. Laws need to be reformulated in order to ensure that these citizens are able to exercise their franchise through a system of registration and voting at Sri Lankan embassies and missions abroad.
Once again, the issue of streamlining the updating of Voter Registers is a critical factor that needs attention. For example, the process needs to be made as watertight as possible in order to prevent any arbitrary striking off of voters by Grama Sevakas and other local government officials, and to ensure that names of those who are deceased and those who have moved away from an address where previously they held a vote, are struck off the list.
The issue of training and monitoring election officials as well as polling agents fielded by various political parties needs to be a continuing area of focus. In particular, these persons needs to be apprised of their rights, in terms of their capacity to make decisions

and to call on law enforcement authorities to support them in their work.
Presiding Officers at Polling Stations also need to be made aware of the critical value of having polling agents representing all political parties and groups contesting the elections present on election day throughout the entire period of the polling. CMEV Monitors observed that the presence or absence of polling agents can be a decisive factor in terms of irregularities in a given Polling Station.
Changing the methods and procedures of delivering polling cards to voters is another area that needs substantial overhaul. CMEV has always maintained that in the interest of greater transparency and accountability, the total number of votes polled at each Polling Centre should be made public. This would satisfy monitors, observers and voters that there are no discrepancies between the number of votes cast and the number of votes counted. This will in no way compromise the principle of a secret ballot since it would only be a total figure that is released to the public.
CMEV also reaffirms the need to have far more strict and stringent laws that regulate election-related advertising during the campaign period, applicable to both the state and privately-owned media. The gross misuse of the print and electronic media during the election campaign of 2004 underscores the argument that clear and enforceable Guidelines should be drawn up in consultation with political parties, civil society organizations, media organizations and institutions and election monitoring groups in order to strengthen the powers given to the Commissioner of Elections in the 17" Amendment to the Constitution.

Page 15
CMEV reiterates its conviction that the results of an election should be declared null and void and a re-poll called for if polling agents, election monitoring groups and presiding officers declare that there have been irregularities in any Polling Station.
A key factor that emerged from the General Election of 2004 has been the high level of intimidation of political parties, candidates and supporters in the North and East and the inability of many of them to run an election campaign in these areas. This situation, makes a travesty of the notion of a free and informed choice of candidate by voters and is an issue that should be addressed as a matter of priority. The violence and malpractice that occurred in the April 2004 election cannot be allowed to continue if there is a serious commitment to democracy in the North and East.
Law enforcement officers should be empowered to take swift action to investigate complaints of election related violence and malpractice and to take alleged perpetrators into custody. In order to do this, they should be confident that they can act free of political pressure or undue influence from any political party or leadership.
Political parties should also commit themselves to take immediate disciplinary action against their members and supporters who are found to be involved in election-related violence or malpractice. The continued use of fire-arms including unlicensed fire-arms in this election campaign reaffirms our commitment to demand that all political parties and the Police take every step necessary to repossess and confiscate fire-arms being unlawfully used by politicians and their supporters.

Official permission granted to domestic Election Monitors to enter Polling Centres should be extended to Counting Centres as well so as to facilitate a comprehensive civil society contribution to the protection and enhancement of the integrity of the electoral process.

INTERIM REPORT
(31' MARCH 2004)
2004 GENERAL ELECTION
The Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) was formed in 1997 by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Coalition Against Political Violence as an independent non-partisan organization to monitor the incidence of election – related violence. CMEV has monitored every national, provincial and local election since 1997, including the last Presidential Election (1999) and the General Elections of 2000 and 2001. The Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) functions as the Secretariat of CMEV.
CMEV appoints Field Monitors to Polling Divisions. Coordinators at both District and Provincial Levels and approximately 30 Monitors or Election Day Monitors in each Polling Division on the day of the polls. Mobile Teams are also deployed on Election Day. Information on the incidence of election related violence is
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

corroborated at the level of the Polling Division. District Coordinator and finally Provincial Coordinator levels, before it is released to the media. All Media Releases and Reports are signed by the three Co-Convenors, Ms. Sunila Abeysekera, Mr. Sunanda Deshapriya and Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu. CMEV Monitors sign a pledge affirming their commitment to independent, non partisan monitoring and are trained before deployment.
In addition to local Monitors at all levels, CMEV also deploys International Observers to work with its local Monitors in the field, two weeks to ten days before polling day and on polling day. International Observers are recruited from international civil society organizations and have worked in the human rights and development fields as practitioners, activists and academics.
On Election Day, CMEV will have 4584 Monitors plus 20 International Observers, making a total of 4604 Monitors.
Funding
For the monitoring exercise of the April 2004 Election, CMEV has received financial assistance from the following:
Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA) - Rs. 3,500,000.00 Aus Aid - Rs. 5,901,887.00 NOR AD - Rs. 5,500,000.00 The Royal Netherlands Embassy - Rs. 5,450,000.00 National Democratic Institute (NDI),
USA (Money forthcoming) - Rs... 14,550,000.00
TOTAL = Rs. 34.901887

Page 19
Funds received are spent on the expenses of Monitors in the field throughout the campaign and on Election Day (including telephone, fax and travel as well as the setting up of District level CMEV offices), the CMEV headquarters and staff in Colombo for a period of three months, the publication of reports including the Final Report in all three languages, the public interest media campaign and the expenses of International Monitors including airfares.
Introduction
CMEV has monitored the situation relating to incidents of electionrelated violence including violations of election law from the commencement of nominations (17 February 2004). This Report deals with the period 17 February 2004 to 30 March 2004.
CMEV Media Releases have reiterated the critical role of the Elections Commissioner, the Police Commission and the Police Department in ensuring a violence-free election campaign and a free and fair election on April 2, 2004. We have commended the steps that have been taken by these two key institutions to ensure a violence-free campaign and defended their right to act free of political interference.
CMEV has also constantly appealed to the political parties and groups contesting in this election to conduct their campaign and propaganda activities with full respect for the democratic rights of the citizens of this country. We have maintained that upholding the principle of a free and fair election requires that candidates and parties have a right to campaign and propagate their views among the public. Further, that voters have a right to receive this information from all parties contesting the elections, so that they
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

may make a free and fair choice of the party and candidate of their preference.
We have in particular been concerned by many reports of assault on property and persons, including those involving the use of fire arms. This points to a high level of intolerance of political and ideological diversity, which is a critical feature of democracy. The fact that supporters of senior politicians have been involved in these incidents is one of the most disheartening factors that have come to light in our monitoring.
a) Profile of Violence
Of a cumulative total of 1485 incidents, 540 (36.4%) have been classified as Major Incidents. The highest number of incidents of violence, both Major and Minor, have been recorded in the Colombo District (152 or 10%). The highest number of Major Incidents have been recorded in the Digamadulla District (56 or 10.4%) followed by the Kurunegala District with 55 or 10.2% and Puttalam with 44 or 8.1%. The highest number of Murders has been in the Batticaloa District with 4 or 80% of all Murders.
The highest number of complaints have been made by UPFA (726 or 49%). The party which has been identified in the most number of complaints as the Alleged Perpetrator is the UNF (714 or 48%). The corresponding statistic with regard to Major Incidents only, is the UNIF (286 or 53%).
The largest number of complaints made against the UNF has been by the UPFA - 547 or 75% of all complaints made by the UPFA. The UNF has made 266 complaints against the UPFA or a total of 66% of all complaints made by the UNF. The Police have lodged

Page 20
224 or 15% of all complaints made. Of these 89 each or 39.8% are against the UPFA and UNF respectively.
b) North and East
The situation in the North and East has been a special area of focus in our work. In the North, we are extremely disturbed by reports that the TNA supported by the LTTE, has made it virtually impossible for other Tamil parties and groups to carry on with a campaign. We have received many reports of attacks and intimidation of supporters of Mr. Anandasangaree of the TULF and of members of the EPDP and reiterate that in such an environment, conducting a free and fair election in the Jaffna District, remains extremely doubtful.
In the East, we have seen five murders - a UNF candidate, Mr. S. Sunderampillai, an EPDP member Mr. P. Rajendran, SLMC supporter Mr. Kaldeen Sana, TNA candidate Mr. R. Sathiyamoorthi and TNA supporter Mr. Kanagasabai. CMEV condemns these murders. We note that in none of these cases have any of the assailants been apprehended. The shooting of Mr. R. Maunaguruswamy, Batticaloa GA and Chief Returning Officer for the District, as the election campaign reached its conclusion is equally contemptible and once again casts a shadow over the holding of a free and fair election.
We have previously reiterated that the Police and the LTTE are the two actors who have the capacity to ensure the safety and security of all candidates and supporters in the North and East. Sadly, they have not been able to fulfill their obligations in this regard. Although we had hoped that the Amnesty International note of caution that candidates and supporters of the Tamil political parties not allied to the TNA may become targets of assassination would turn out to be
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

misplaced, the tragic reality has been that the election campaign in the North and East has turned out to be fraught with violence and flagrant disregard for the democratic rights of the citizens of these
S.
The rights of voters in those areas of the North and East that are under LTTE control have become a major focus of attention, especially in the international community. While the focus has been on the establishment of clustered polling stations in areas outside the military control of both the Sri Lanka army and the LTTE and the provision of transport and other facilities to enable the more than 200,000 voters in these area to exercise their franchise for the first time in over 15 years, there has been no focus on the rights of these voters to receive information regarding the different political parties and groups that seek their vote, in order to enable them to make an informed and free choice of candidate. Given a situation where no group other than the TNA has been able to enter and canvass for votes in these areas, once again the issue of whether an election held under such circumstances could be considered to be free and fair remains an issue.
c) Postal Voting
With regard to the postal voting, there has been a great deal of confusion regarding the process, and we hope that the Elections Commissioner will clarify the problems he and his officers are said to have confronted in carrying out the postal voting. We have been assured that all those entitled to cast their postal vote but have not, will be able to do so right up to the time that polling closes at 4 p.m. on 2 April 2004. We hope that all postal voters who have not been able to vote as yet, will be able to avail themselves of this extension.

d) Media and Misuse of State Resources
We are also concerned about the role played by the media in this election campaign, especially by the bias blatantly displayed by the state-owned and controlled media. CMEV welcomes the decision of the Election Commissioner to appoint a Competent Authority in respect of Rupavahini and the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation. We have intervened in the fundamental rights petition of
The Programme for the Protection of Public Resources has also continually voiced their concerns regarding the abuse of public property in the election campaign by all those parties in power.
Conclusion
Although in the beginning of the campaign CMEV had noted a lower rate of incidence of violence than in previous elections, in the last week of the campaign we have recorded a sudden and steep increase in such incidents. Given that areas of violence on Election Day are in turn closely co-related to areas of violence during the campaign, we are apprehensive of what this increase may mean.
In this context, we urge all political parties contesting these elections to ensure that their leaders, candidates and supporters act with due respect for democratic ethics and principles on Election Day, and ensure that the results of the election will be acceptable to all democratic citizens of this country as well as to the entire world. We call on everyone to extend their support to the Election Commissioner and his officials as well as to the Police.
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

We urge the citizens of Sri Lanka to exercise their franchise without any fear, to elect a candidate and a party of their choice and to ensure that all others are able to enjoy the same right as well.

Media Communiqué on Election-related Violence General Elections - 2004
2" REPORT - POLLING DAY 2". APRIL 2004
The Centre for Monitoring Election Violence has in its monitoring of the incidence of violence throughout the campaign accorded the election in the North and East a special focus. This was warranted by the situation of NO War NO Peace and the ceasefire agreement. The climate of fear and intimidation in which non-TNA candidates in the Jaffna District, in particular, had to campaign necessitated this.
In its Media Release of 30 March 2004, CMEV highlighted the conditions under which the election campaign was being conducted. In that Press Release, CMEV urged

all parties contesting the elections in the North and East to ensure that voting is carried out without any acts of intimidation or violence or other malpractice on April 2, 2004.
We further stated that
It is only if divergent views and opinions are allowed to be expressed, and are seen to be expressed, that these elections can go on record as being conducted in a free and fair atmosphere. It is only then, that all those who emerge victorious can truly claim to be the legitimate representatives of their constituencies.
This has not been the case in the Jaffna District. Furthermore, on the basis of the reports that we have received from our observers in the field, we feel that polling in the Jaffna District was subjected to systematic impersonation, therefore warranting an annulment of the poll there followed by a re poll of the District. We urge the Commissioner to consider this.
Some of our reports refer to
... large scale impersonation which was carried out in a well organized, systematic way... According to an observer in the area, the worst areas of
impersonation were Point Pedro, Thumpalai, Puloly, Alvai, Karaveddy and Polikandy. Several groups were seen washing their fingers and a man with a bottle of clear liquid for this purpose, sighted. The observer further notes that impersonation was quite blatant with people arriving to vote with ink stains on their hands. The observer further notes that the SPOs and EPDP polling agents did not seem to care.

Page 44
Another observer noted that beneath the low number of complaints lay an undercurrent that there was widespread attempts at intimidation for voters to follow the LTTETNA line.
CMEV will issue a full report on the election in the North and East once a detailed debriefing of its Monitors and collation of reports, has been completed.
CMEV was formed in 1997 by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Coalition against Political Violence as an independent and non-partisan organization to monitor the incidence of election related violence.

Media Communiqué on Election-related Violence General Elections - 2004
3' REPORT - POLLING DAY 2" APRIL 2004
Throughout the campaign for General Elections in April 2004, CMEV had highlighted the need to pay special attention to the conducting of a free and fair election in the North and East, with a focus on ensuring respect for the rights of voters and the rights of political parties and groups contesting the elections in these areas. This was because of the circumstances in which large numbers of voters from the un-cleared areas were to cast their vote for the first time and in the context of fears expressed by both Muslim and Tamil political parties and groups contesting the elections in the North and East of intimidation and harassment of their supporters. The fact that all five election-related murders that took place during the election campaign, between March 1 and March 31, occurred in the Eastern Province further heightened the need to pay special attention to this Province on Election Day.

Batticaloa:
CMEV monitors filed complaints of widespread impersonation at the Agrarian Service Centre, Kattankudy (Polling Station 108) Kattankudy Maha Vidyalaya (Polling Station 117) and Nuramiya Vidyalaya (Polling Station 116).
There was also a report of an assault of candidate Mr. Nazeer Hamza, of Independendent Group 8, at the approach to Nooraniya Maha Vidyalaya in New Kattankudy West (Polling Station No. 116).
Monitors recorded intimidation of polling agents at several polling stations. UPFA candidate Mr. Kazali complained to CMEV monitors that SLMC polling agents were intimidating his colleagues inside the polling stations at Al Noor Vidyalaya, Valaichchenai (Polling Station Nos. 58, 59 and 60) when they challenged impersonations. Our monitor reported a tussle between supporters of SLMC and UPFA at the entrance to the station, and the Police had to disperse the crowd. There were also complaints of large-scale impersonation at this Polling Station.
There were also reports of large crowds congregating near the Ottamavadi Maha Vidyalaya (Polling Station No. 9).
Digamadulla District:
Amparai:
CMEV monitors made special reports on the situation they discovered in many polling stations in Sammanturai and Potuvil throughout the day. There were cases of impersonation, intimidation of voters and polling agents, including one CMEV monitor, blatant distribution of

Page 46
polling cards in the vicinity of the polling station, transporting of voters and several incidents in which the Police was forced to fire into the air to disperse groups that were congregating near the entrance to a polling station.
We give below several examples of such incidents:
Impersonation:
Incidents of impersonation were observed by CMEV monitors at the following Polling Stations, among others:
Sammanturai:
Sennal Gramam Zahira Vidyala (Polling Stations No. No 32 and 33)
Govt. Tamil Mixed School, Malwatta (Polling Stations 44 and 45)
Jamaliya Vidyalaya, Sammanturai (Polling Stations 30 and 31)
Al Ershad Vidyala, Sammanturai (Polling Stations 35 and 37)
Muslim Maha Vidyalaya, Sammanturai (Polling Stations 19 and 21)
Kallarachchal Muslim Vidyalaya (Polling Stations 28 and 29)
Potuwi:
Karativu Shanmuga Vidyalaya (Polling Stations 122 and 123)
Al Ashraq National School, Nintavur (Polling Stations 112 and 116)
Kumara Vidyalaya, Tirukkovil (Polling Station 45)
Imam Rumi Vidyalaya, Nintavur (Polling Station 103)
Imam Kasali Vidyalaya, Nintavur (Polling Station 101)

Al Hidaya Vidyalaya, Palamunai (Polling Station 85) SPO U.L.O. Rahamatullah told CMEV monitors that there had been attempts at impersonation that he had prevented.
Attacks on candidates:
Police complaint EIB 3684 made by Mr. Abdul Rashid Mohamed Sayeed a candidate of Independent Group No.19, of an attack on him and a group of his supporters near the 5th milepost on the Amparai, Akkaraipattu road by SLMC supporters including a candidate, Mr. Uvais. Two candidates on the Independent Group No. 19 list were injured, Mr. Mohamed Thambi Muhajirin and Mohamed Ibrahim Mohamed Hussein and admitted to Amparai Base Hospital with cut wounds.
Intimidation of voters:
Marathamunai public Hall (Polling station 49, Kalmunai): persons gathered close to the polling station wearing caps with the colors green and yellow and the number 1 and 8 with a cross marked on it were heard by our monitors loudly stating that someone who had harassed them yesterday (name was not clearly heard) would be killed if they came to vote today.
Sennal Gramam Zahira Vidyala, Sammanturai (Polling Stations 32 and 33, Sammanturai): a clash between supporters of SLMC and NUA outside the polling station had led the STF to shoot into the air and also push back the crowd. Some persons said they had been hurt in the incident and there was high level of tension in the area around 11.30
a.m. on April 2.

Page 47
Al Ashraq National School, Nintavur (Polling Stations 112 and 116. Pottuvil): persons gathered outside the polling station had leaflets promoting the number of one candidate in their hands and they were attempting to distribute it to persons going in to the polling station. A large group of people were gathered in a house right across from the polling station from which observers said they were coordinating impersonation and other irregularities.
No 28 and 29, Kallarachchal Muslim Vidyalaya, hall 1 and 2: UPFA supporter assaulted and hurt by SLMC supporters.
Intimidation of polling agents and CMEV monitors:
Mr. S.C. Faleel, the CMEV monitor at Semnal Gramam Zahra Vidyalaya (Polling Stations 32 and 33, Sammanturai) had been threatened on the previous night by a group of unidentified persons who came to his home and said he would be killed if he monitored the elections.
The EPDP has complained that their polling agents in Potuvil, Kalmunai and Sammanturai were intimidated and chased away from polling stations. They have already lodged a complaint in this regard with the Commissioner of Elections.
In Kalmunai, No 29, Al Azar Vidyalaya, Kalmunaikudi, a polling agent belonging to Independent Group 22 was assaulted allegedly by a group of Ferial Ashraffs supporters inside the polling station. The victim has been admitted to the Ashraf Memorial Hospital.
Distribution of polling cards:
Lal Thurairajah (05), EPDP candidate, has complained that at Methodist Tamil Mixed School in Komari (Polling Station 30, Potuvil)

and other polling stations in the area, he observed the distribution of polling cards taking place in the immediate vicinity of the Polling Station.
Transporting of voters:
On the road from Tirukkovil to Akkaraipattu, monitors recorded Isuzu van 30 Sri 0238 and a white van 250-6210 that were transporting voters accompanied by young men who distributed polling cards to the passengers.
CMEV monitors also observed that in some cases there was lack of effective action taken by the SPOs and Police to prevent impersonation and congregating of persons outside the polling stations.
We hope to submit a full report of all incidents of election-related violence and inregularities to the Commissioner of Elections within the next week.
In view of the above, we feel that the polling in Digamadulla District has been flawed in the Polling Divisions of Sammanturai, Potuvil and Kalmunai to the point where an annulment of the polls there would be warranted. We urge the Commissioner of Elections to consider this.
CMEV was formed in 1997 by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Coalition against Political Violence as an independent and non-partisan organization to monitor the incidence of election related violence.

INTERIM REPORT
7" APRIL 2004
ELECTION DAY (2nd APRIL 2004)
The Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) was formed in 1997 by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Coalition Against Political Violence as an independent non-partisan organization to monitor the incidence of election – related violence. CMEV has monitored every national, provincial and local election since 1997, including the last Presidential Election (1999) and the General Elections of 2000 and 2001. The Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) functions as the Secretariat of CMEV.
CMEV appoints Field Monitors to Polling Divisions, Coordinators at both District and Provincial Levels and approximately 30 Monitors or Election Day Monitors in each Polling Division on the day of the polls. In this election, CMEV and PAFFREL Monitors were granted official permission by the
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

Election Commissioner to enter Polling Centres. Mobile Teams are also deployed on Election Day. Information on the incidence of election related violence is corroborated at the level of the Polling Division, District Coordinator and finally Provincial Coordinator levels, before it is released to the media. All Media Releases and Reports are signed by the three Co-Convenors, Ms. Sunila Abeysekera. Mr Sunanda Deshapriya and Dr Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu. CMEV Monitors sign a pledge affirming their commitment to independent, non partisan monitoring and are trained before deployment.
In addition to local Monitors at all levels, CMEV also deploys International Observers to work with its local Monitors in the field, two weeks to ten days before polling day and on polling day. International Observers are recruited from international civil society organizations and have worked in the human rights and development fields as practitioners, activists and academics.
On Election Day, CMEV deployed 4,347 Monitors including 25 International Observers. CMEW monitored a total of 6,215 polling centres or 58.2% of the total of 10,670 polling centres.
The figures provided in this report re incidents on election day are provisional ones. A final tally of all incidents during the campaign and on Election Day will be provided in the Final Report on Election Related Wiolence in the April 2004 General Election, once all reports are received and collated. The Final Report will also include a report on post-election violence, covering a period of approximately two weeks following Polling Day.

Profile of Violence and Malpractice: Election Day and Post Election (3'-6" April 2004)
Of a total of 368 incidents of violence and malpractice on Election Day recorded by CMEV, the largest number of incidents were recorded from the Digamadulla (44), Kandy (33). Kurunegala (31) and Jaffna (28) Districts.
Of the 368 incidents, the UNF is cited as the alleged perpetrator in 141 or 38% of all incidents and the UPFA in 81 or 22% of all incidents. The two main formations account for 60% of all incidents, confirming a pattern of violence and malpractice throughout the campaign as well, in this election and in previous ones. In terms of complaints made, the UNF total is 31 (8%) as opposed to the UPFA's 47 (13%). The Police have made a total of 54 complaints (15%). 30 or 56% of which are against the UPFA and the UNF combined.
The number of polling centres recorded by CMEV as being affected by incidents occurring in them or within the 500 metre radius of polling centres stipulated in the election law is 361 or 3% of the total number of polling centers (10,670). Of the 361, districtwise Digamadulla accounts for 54 centres or 15%, Kurunegala for 34 or 9%. Jaffna for 29 or 8% and Kandy for 25 or 79.
CMEV is concerned by the incidence of post election violence, reports of which number 81. Of these 33 or 41% have been categorized as Major Incidents, including 02 Murders, one each in the Anuradhapura and Moneragala Districts respectively. Nine (09) cases of Arson have also been reported, 03 from the Kurunegala District and 02 each from the Galle and Matale
2004 GeFerdi ElectioF

Districts respectively. The highest number of Major Incidents of post election violence have been recorded in the Kurunegala District (07) followed by the Puttalam District (06).
Of the Major Incidents of post-election violence, the UNF is cited as the alleged perpetrator in 11 or 33% and the UPFA in 13 or 39%
of all such incidents. Both parties are cited as the alleged perpetrator of one (01) Murder each.
In terms of complainants of post election violence, the UNF has made 58 complaints or 72% and the UPFA 17 or 21%.
Conclusion
On the basis of reports recorded, CMEV concluded that Election Day •nd April 2004 was considerably and qualitatively less violent than the last General Election of 5" December 2001. The April 2004 election, both in terms of the campaign period and polling day and except for the situation in parts of the North and East in particular, is the most violence and malpractice free election in Sri Lanka, in the last decade. It is the election most free of violence and malpractice that CMEV has monitored.
In the North and East, CMEV felt that polling in the Jaffna District and in the Polling Divisions of Sammanthurai, Potuvil and Kalmunai in the Digamadulla District, warranted annulment and urged the Election Commissioner to consider doing so and order are poll in those areas. In the Jaffna District our assessment was based on the reports of local and international observers and in the Digamadulla District on the reports of local and international monitors. (Please see Press Releases dated 2 April 2004).

CMEV believes that the low level of violence and malpractice in the April 2004 election is attributable to a number of factors, most notably the role of the Election Commissioner and the Police in ensuring adherence to election laws. CMEV congratulates the Commissioner and the Police on their success in this regard and calls on the Police to act swiftly and effectively to investigate the incidents of election and post election violence and to prevent further escalation of the latter. We call upon the newly elected government and the leadership of all political parties to cooperate with the Police in this regard and to fulfill their primary responsibility for the prevention of post election violence.
CMEV wishes to thank the Election Commissioner, the Police, its monitors and international observers, donors and all those who assisted and participated in its monitoring of the April 2004 General Election. Our very special thanks go to our fellow citizens, without whose cooperation and support monitoring would not have been possible or worthwhile.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CMEV wishes to thank the Election Commissioner and the Police for the support and cooperation extended, as always, to its monitoring effort. We also wish to thank the media and the political parties for their cooperation and the donor community for its assistance. CMEV monitoring will not be possible without the support and cooperation of the general public. We thank our fellow citizens and voice the hope that their support will be forthcoming in the future as well to ensure the integrity of the electoral process in Sri Lanka.
The Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) was formed in 1997 by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Coalition Against Political Violence as an independent non-partisan organization to monitor the incidence of election - related violence. CMEV has monitored every national, provincial and local election since 1997, including the last Presidential Election (1999) and the General Elections of 2000 and 2001. The Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) functions as the Secretariat of CMEV.
