Bangladesh’s Election Commission (EC) has resumed expatriate voter registration through the ‘Postal Vote BD’ mobile app in seven countries—Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Malaysia—after a temporary suspension caused by incorrect or incomplete address entries. The registration restarted at 6 a.m. on Saturday, November 29, following technical and data verification improvements. EC officials emphasized that expatriates must provide accurate English addresses with full postal codes to ensure delivery of postal ballots. Those already registered will be able to correct their addresses within the app. The registration period will continue until December 18, with around 77,974 expatriates already registered as of Friday night. This initiative marks the first time Bangladeshi citizens living abroad will be able to vote in national elections and referendums via postal ballots, a significant step in expanding electoral participation for the diaspora community.
