The Election Commission (EC) has issued a directive requiring voters in the upcoming Bogura-6 by-election to apply indelible ink on the opposite hand from the one used during the 13th National Parliamentary Election held on February 12. The by-election is scheduled for April 9, and the EC has sent letters to returning officers instructing them to follow this guideline. The rule applies specifically to voters who already have ink marks from the previous election.
According to the EC notification, voters who did not cast their ballots in the February 12 election will continue under the previous ink-use instructions. The Bogura-6 by-election will feature candidates Md. Abidur Rahman from Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Md. Rezaul Karim Badsha from the BNP, and Al Alim Talukder from the Bangladesh Development Party.
The seat became vacant after BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman, who won both Bogura-6 and Dhaka-17 constituencies, chose to retain Dhaka-17. The EC subsequently declared Bogura-6 vacant and announced a new schedule. The same-day Sherpur-3 general election will not follow this ink-hand rule.
