Bangladesh’s Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A.M.M. Nasir Uddin has announced that the 13th National Parliamentary Election and a national referendum will be held simultaneously on February 12. The announcement, made in a televised address on December 11, ends months of speculation about the electoral timeline. Voting will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with white-and-black ballots for the parliamentary race and pink ballots for the referendum. Election Commissioner Abdur Rahmanel Masud stated that the Election Commission (EC) will begin enforcing electoral codes and related laws immediately after the schedule’s publication. Over 297,000 expatriates have registered online to vote via postal ballots. For the first time, some constituencies will have symbolic returning officers from within the EC, while district commissioners will serve in most others. This will be the first election under the interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, formed after the August 2024 mass uprising that ended the Awami League’s rule. The EC plans to issue circulars on campaign conduct, law enforcement, and government coordination as the country enters full election mode.
