Bangladesh’s Election Commission has announced the schedule for the 13th National Parliamentary Election, set for February 12, following a 16‑month gap since the student‑led uprising. Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin declared the timetable in a televised address on December 11, confirming that a national referendum on implementing the July Charter will be held on the same day.
To accommodate both the parliamentary election and the referendum, the commission extended the voting period by one hour, with polling to run continuously from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The number of secret voting booths at polling centers will also increase to ensure smoother management. This will be the first national election under the new commission formed on November 21, 2023, after the fall of the Awami League government.
Over 127.6 million citizens are eligible to vote, including more than 300,000 expatriate Bangladeshis registered for postal ballots. The simultaneous vote marks a key test for the new election authority’s capacity to conduct a credible and inclusive process.
