Marred by allegations of vote rigging and ballot stuffing, Wednesday's maiden partisan municipal polls saw voting postponed in 39 polling centres in 12 districts.
In Narshingdi's Madhabdi municipality, the election was cancelled entirely after all twelve of the area's polling centres were besieged by violent clashes.
The Election Commission has not yet announced when the Madhabdi election will be held.
Where balloting was postponed, the main cause was the eruption of violence between political rivals, returning officers confirmed to the Dhaka Tribune.
Voting was suspended at 10 polling centres in Noakhali's Choumuhani; four in Nilphamari's Syedpur, three in Thakurgaon, three in Jamalpur, three in Chittagong's Chandanaish, two in Madaripur's Kalkini, two in Kurigram's Ulipur and two in Barguna.
Voting was suspended at single polling centers in another 10 municipalities in 10 districts.
Severe clashes between ruling party candidates, renegades and opposition contenders left one man dead and around 120 injured. Several polling centres were rocked by bomb blasts.
Polling centres opened their doors to voters at 8am and closed at 4pm Wednesday in 234 municipalities across the country.
