The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has not yet received voter turnout data from 6,620 out of 42,651 polling centers across the country. As of 2 p.m. on February 12, 2026, data from 36,031 centers showed an average turnout of 47.91 percent. Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed of the EC Secretariat shared the figures during a briefing held at the commission’s headquarters at around 4:15 p.m.
Akhtar Ahmed explained that the statistics were based on information collected between 7:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., and that data from the remaining centers were still being gathered. Responding to claims by Jamaat-e-Islami that voting had been halted in over a hundred centers across three constituencies, he said any allegations would be verified and, if proven, appropriate legal action would be taken by the respective returning officers. He cautioned that premature comments could mislead the public.
The EC official added that no major problems had been reported so far and that voter turnout, initially low at midday, was increasing in the afternoon. Updated figures on the overall voting progress will be released later, according to EC sources.
