The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh held a follow-up meeting with law enforcement agencies in Dhaka ahead of the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election. The meeting, chaired by Chief Election Commissioner A M M Nasir Uddin, included four election commissioners, the home secretary, the EC secretary, and top officials from various security agencies. Discussions focused on reviewing security measures, finalizing deployment strategies, and determining the duration of law enforcement presence before and after the election. The EC is expected to issue directives on security operations and the number of personnel to be stationed at polling centers. Earlier, in the first preparatory meeting held on October 20, a proposal was made to deploy security forces for eight days surrounding the election period. Current estimates suggest that between 13 and 18 law enforcement members may be assigned to each polling station to ensure a peaceful and orderly voting process.
