The 2nd State Council of Ceylon was a meeting of the State Council of Ceylon, with the membership determined by the results of the 1936 state council election held between 22 February and 7 March 1936. The parliament met for the first time on 17 March 1936 and was dissolved on 4 July 1947.
Election
The 2nd state council election was held between 22 February and 7 March 1936 in 43 of the 50 constituencies.{{cite web |title=Handbook of Parliament: Dates of Elections |url=https://www.parliament.lk/en/dates-of-elections |publisher=Parliament of Sri Lanka |accessdate=3 March 2019 |location=Colombo, Sri Lanka}}{{cite book |last=Rajasingham |first=K. T. |title=Sri Lanka: The Untold Story |chapter=Chapter 8: Pan Sinhalese board of ministers – A Sinhalese ploy}} The remaining seven constituencies only had a single nomination each and consequently the candidates were elected without a vote.
The new state council met for the first time on 17 March 1936 and elected Waithilingam Duraiswamy, Susantha de Fonseka and R. S. Tennekoon as Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees and Deputy Chairman of Committees respectively.
