Most rural voters across several upazilas remain unaware of the upcoming constitutional referendum scheduled for February 12, to be held alongside the 13th National Parliamentary Election. Despite government publicity efforts, many villagers do not understand what the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote means or why it is being held. Reports from Sunamganj and Dinajpur show that while voters are familiar with the parliamentary election, they are largely uninformed about the additional referendum ballot.
Local officials claim that awareness activities are underway, including banners, festoons, loudspeaker announcements, and leaflet distribution. However, residents say these campaigns are mostly limited to upazila centers and marketplaces, leaving remote villages uninformed. Some voters expressed confusion, saying they had only heard about the MP election, not the referendum.
District and upazila administrators have emphasized that the referendum vote is voluntary and that the government’s goal is to ensure voters understand the process before election day. Concerns remain that lack of awareness could cause confusion at polling centers.
