The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has expressed its desire for the upcoming national election to be held on schedule, without unnecessary delays. Following a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A.M.M. Nasir Uddin in Dhaka, BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said the party aims to restore citizens’ voting rights and remain within the electoral process. BNP proposed extending polling hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., reducing voters per booth, increasing marking stations, and adding more ballot boxes to ensure smooth voting. The party also requested that passports be accepted as valid identification for voter registration, particularly for expatriate Bangladeshis lacking national ID cards. Additionally, BNP urged the Election Commission not to use private presses for printing ballot papers, citing security concerns. The CEC assured that the commission would discuss these proposals and decide in its upcoming meeting. BNP reiterated its commitment to timely elections despite political tensions and Khaleda Zia’s illness.
