President Md. Shahabuddin has registered to cast his vote through postal ballot in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The confirmation came on Tuesday afternoon from K.M. Ali Newaz, Project Director of the Postal Vote Project and Additional Secretary of the Election Commission (EC). EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed stated that the President expressed his wish to vote by postal ballot, and necessary arrangements will be made through an app. After registration, the postal ballot will be sent to the head of state by mail.

According to the EC, the President had also voted by postal ballot in the previous 12th parliamentary election. This time, the Election Commission has introduced an IT-supported postal voting system, allowing eligible voters to register online and cast their votes through postal ballots.

The new digital registration process marks a modernization of the postal voting system, aiming to make participation more accessible for voters unable to attend polling stations in person.
