Volunteers will come at your door to collect the data for adding new voters, making transfers, corrections and deletion of list of voters who have passed away. Any citizen who turned 18 January this year, or could not be registered earlier can change their status.

The EC is committed to ensure people’s right to vote and put an end to the days of ghost voters in any constituency.

The first phase of the update began in coastal and marshy areas on May 15 before the onset of the rains; followed by townships in the second phase. More than 400 Upazilas have been covered.

Over 60,000 people were to be involved in the three-stage exercise expected to cost overall Tk 590 million.

The EC hopes to complete the updating of the rolls by November and said a draft list will be published beginning of the next year.
