The Bangladesh Election Commission (EC) has launched a mobile application named ‘Smart Election Management BD’ ahead of the 13th parliamentary election scheduled for February 12, 2026. The app, available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, allows voters to access detailed information about their polling centers by entering their national ID number and date of birth. Users can view the name, number, and location of their designated polling centers, along with geo-location, building photos, distance, and maps.

According to the EC, the initiative aims to reduce voter harassment and make election-related information more accessible. The app also provides data on registered political parties, candidate affidavits, election guidelines, and results. It is expected to particularly assist urban voters and new voters who often face confusion about their polling centers due to frequent changes between local and national elections.

The 13th parliamentary election will be held on February 12 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the new app is intended to ensure smoother voter participation on election day.
