EC starts taking photographs of new voters in city

The Election Commission yesterday began taking photographs of new voters in the capital to complete their enrollment in the updated voter list.

The commission also announced plans to continue the registration of new voters up to November 15 at around 120 schools and colleges in the capital as registration centre. Earlier, the EC appointed enumerators to visit every household in the capital to collect information on new voters from September 1 to 13.

After collecting their basic information, aspiring voters were asked to visit registration centres in their respective areas to take photographs and complete the final stage of their registration.

“However, those who failed to be enlisted during data collection period can also get themselves enrolled at the registration centres,” EC officials told the Dhaka Tribune.
