The final number of voters in the voter list updation-2022 will be published today (Thursday) marking the National Voter Day.
With this, the Election Commission (EC) is going to observe the voter day for the fifth time this year with the slogan ‘will be voter following rules and vote for the competent candidates’.
The EC chalked out several programmes to observe the day to be launched through bringing out a rally from in front of the EC Bhaban in participation with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and other commissioners around 8.30am.
A discussion meeting on the importance and significance of the voter day will be held in the EC Bhaban around 4pm. CEC Kazi Habibul Awal will attend as the chief guest.
Apart from this, an enthralling cultural event is scheduled to be held today (Thursday) evening.
Three election officers will be honoured for discharging duties with competency and credit.
Along with the EC headquarters, the voter day will be observed in a befitting manner at all offices across the country tomorrow.
The election affairs body ‘FEMBoSA’ belonging to SAARC decided to observe the voter day on March 2 every year in 2013.
Later, a proposal was sent to the EC with the recommendation to observe the day as the National Voter Day.
The EC unanimously took the decision to mark the day every year since then.
