Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal on Saturday called upon the voters to exercise their voting rights freely braving all fears and concerns.
“I urge all voters to cast your valuable votes to your favourite candidate freely and fearlessly tomorrow (Sunday),” the CEC said in a televised address to the nation on Saturday evening.
“Cast your vote with enthusiasm and festivity to discharge your civic responsibility in forming the next parliamentary government,” he said.
“Vote is yours. Do not be influenced by anyone’s persuasion or intervention. If you face any kind of obstacle, immediately inform the presiding officer,” he added.
The CEC asked the presiding officers to discharge their responsibility to ensure voters’ rights by any means.
Police and magistrates will stay in all polling centres to extend all-out cooperation to the presiding officers, he said.
All modes of transport will ply except motorcycles, microbuses, taxicabs and trucks to facilitate the voters to reach the polling centres, the CEC said.
