    Abstract
    Presidential candidate Maithripala Sirisena’s manifesto, published after his election on 8 January 2015, included a response to a long-standing demand to reform Sri Lanka’s electoral system. This paper examines the key features and functions of a Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) system, which would be in line with Sirisena’s response. The paper synthesises findings from the vast body of research on electoral systems that exists internationally to demonstrate the key features of an MMP system and how they should be implemented. It also provides recommendations that address President Sirisena's election campaign promises on electoral reform.
