The Bangladesh Election Commission (EC) has officially launched the 'Postal Vote BD' mobile application, allowing expatriate Bangladeshis to register and participate in national elections through a postal voting system. Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin inaugurated the app at the EC headquarters on November 18, describing it as a milestone in democratic inclusion. Registration through the app will begin on November 19 and continue in phases across different regions until December 23. Expatriates from East Asia, North America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and Oceania will have specific five-day registration windows. The hybrid system combines online registration with manual voting to ensure transparency and accessibility. The EC acknowledged potential technical issues and sought user feedback for improvement. In addition to expatriates, government officials working outside their constituencies and voters under legal custody will also be eligible to vote via postal ballots. The initiative aims to strengthen democratic participation among Bangladeshis worldwide.
