The Election Commission (EC) has announced expenditure limits for candidates contesting the upcoming by-elections in Bogura-6 and Sherpur-3 constituencies, scheduled for April 9. According to EC officials, candidates in Bogura-6 may spend up to 4.5 million taka, while those in Sherpur-3 may spend up to 4.1 million taka. The commission has also fixed the maximum expenditure per voter at 10 taka.
EC sources reported that Bogura-6 has 454,043 registered voters, including 222,796 men, 231,237 women, and 10 third-gender voters. Based on the per-voter limit, the maximum allowable expenditure for candidates in this constituency is 4,540,430 taka. Sherpur-3 has 413,377 voters, allowing a maximum spending limit of 4,133,770 taka per candidate.
The Bogura-6 by-election will feature candidates from Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP, and Bangladesh Development Party. The seat became vacant after BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman, who won it in the February 12 election, chose to retain his Dhaka-17 seat. The Sherpur-3 election was postponed earlier due to a candidate’s death and is now being held under a new schedule.
