Voting in the Bogura-6 by-election began on Thursday, April 9, with notably low voter turnout across polling centers. By noon, no center had recorded more than 10 percent turnout, with some reporting as low as 7 to 8 percent. At the Coronation School and College center, only 107 votes were cast out of 4,060 registered voters by 9:30 a.m. Presiding officer Mehedi Hasan noted that turnout was lower compared to the February 12 election but hoped participation would increase later in the day.

At 11:30 a.m., Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Abidur Rahman Sohel alleged that BNP activists had taken control of the Rajapur polling center after expelling his agents. He also claimed that election agents were asked to sign result forms in advance at the Maltinagar Primary School center, which he said violated election rules. Sohel further alleged the returning officer’s involvement in these irregularities.

The constituency has 454,043 registered voters and 150 polling centers, with heightened security at 53 identified as sensitive. Eight platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh, along with army and RAB patrols, were deployed. Returning officer Fazlul Haque stated that all necessary security measures were in place to ensure peaceful voting.
