Election Commission (EC) said it would distribute the multipurpose smart cards to over 95 million citizens between September 2015 and June 2016.
An EC meeting on Monday, chaired by Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad, discussed production and distribution of the card.
After the meeting, Election Commissioner Md Shah Nawaz told “We will distribute the smart cards soon. Another meeting of the commission will decide the distribution schedule.”
He said 10 machines for smart card personalisation were already at hand.
One of them would be installed at the project office at Agargaon and the rest would temporarily be put at prime minister’s relief office, he said.
“We are very hopeful that we can go for production at the end of this month.”
He said the distribution would immediately follow the production.
Now the voters have laminated NID cards.
NID registration wing briefed the Election Commission on Monday about their operations.
The day before, a team of representatives filled the prime minister in about the smart card.
