Bangladesh’s Election Commission (EC) has announced that the schedule for the 13th National Parliamentary Election will be declared in the first half of December. Election Commissioner Brig. Gen. (Retd.) Abul Fazal Md. Sanaullah made the announcement during a dialogue with domestic election observer organizations in Dhaka. Observers’ lists must be submitted to the EC within ten days of the schedule announcement. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A.M.M. Nasir Uddin emphasized that observers must remain politically neutral and cannot be affiliated with any political party. The EC will introduce QR-coded ID cards to prevent fake observers and ensure transparency. Observers will perform duties for three days—before, during, and after the election. The EC also warned that any attempt to disrupt the transparency of the upcoming election will not be tolerated. Both the CEC and commissioners urged observers to act responsibly to ensure accountability and credibility in the electoral process.
