The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has reported a surge in applications to correct errors in national identity cards. These include mistakes in names, changes due to religious conversion, profession updates, divorce-related amendments, and other factual inaccuracies. The EC has decided to expedite the resolution of approximately 68,000 such applications currently pending.
