Journalist Zahed Chowdhury described his voting experience on February 12, 2026, at the Cambrian School and College polling center in Dhaka-18, located near Bashundhara Residential Area. Arriving shortly after 7 a.m., he observed orderly queues of male and female voters. The main gate opened a few minutes late, and initial confusion arose when a police officer objected to photography inside the premises. The issue was later resolved after clarification that photos could be taken with the presiding officer’s permission.
Inside, voting proceeded slowly as only one voter was allowed per room at a time, with each taking about three to four minutes. Chowdhury noted that the Election Commission’s Smart Election Management BD app made it easy to find voter serial numbers using national ID information. He completed his vote without obstruction and appreciated the verification process by polling agents. The journalist expressed satisfaction at being able to vote freely after many years.
He concluded that the overall environment appeared calm nationwide, raising hopes for a peaceful democratic transition following the day’s voting.
