Mr Ratnayake said nominations would be accepted at district secretaries’ offices in the country’s 22 electoral districts from Friday until noon on October 11.
Sri Lanka’s parliament consists of 225 members, with 196 elected through direct votes and 29 appointed via the national list.
It is based on the proportion of votes each political party or independent group secures in the parliamentary election.
