More than 150 local non-governmental organizations on Tuesday applied for registration as election observers.
EC Secretariat Director (Public Relations) Shariful Alam told the media that they have received over 150 applications. Currently, they have not compiled all the applications.
The committee will start reviewing them next week, he added.
Earlier, the EC had registered 66 local organizations as election observers for the upcoming national elections. However, due to a shortage of local observer organizations, the EC reopened the registration process.
The deadline for submitting this application was September 24.
On August 8, the Election Commission (EC) selected 68 local organizations out of the 199 that applied for registration to monitor the upcoming national election.
