Ten Year Growth of Sri Lankan Voter Base

Ten years ago there were 15,044,490 total eligible voters in Sri Lanka. And it has grew up to 17,063,435 in 2024. The overall growth for the period is at 13.42% (2014-2024). Please refer to the below table to understand the growth:

The Year-on-Year growth is ranging from 0.70% (lowest in 2022) to 2.5% (highest in 2022). The average growth is at 1.27% per year over the last decade. There were two presidential elections in the in 2015 and 2019. The next is to be held on 2024. A clear spike is visible in years where there is a presidential election. Or is it just a coincidence? I believe that it has a correlation. People are more motivated to register as a voter anticipating a major election such as presidential election.
