More than 203,000 Bangladeshi expatriates have registered to vote through the ‘Postal Vote BD’ app ahead of the country’s 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum, according to the Election Commission (EC). As of Saturday, December 6, a total of 203,110 overseas Bangladeshis had completed registration, including 181,108 men and 19,202 women.
Saudi Arabia topped the list with 40,766 registered voters, followed by the United States with 19,228, and a third country with 11,465 applicants. The EC has kept registration open until December 25, urging expatriates to provide accurate addresses during the process. The app-based registration system was launched to facilitate postal voting for citizens living abroad.
Additionally, government employees assigned to election duties or stationed outside their constituencies can also register through the app until December 25. The initiative marks a significant step toward expanding electoral participation among Bangladesh’s global diaspora, though logistical and verification challenges remain.
