In Bogura, young voters are expected to play a decisive role in the upcoming 13th national election. Across the district’s seven parliamentary constituencies, about 151,068 new voters have been added since 2024, bringing the total electorate to 2,981,672. Candidates from major parties, including BNP and Jamaat, are focusing their campaigns on attracting these first-time voters with new promises and targeted outreach. Local observers believe this group could determine victory or defeat in several constituencies.

Bogura’s electorate now includes 1,480,842 men, 1,507,788 women, and 42 hijra voters. Many of the new voters are young people voting for the first time, expressing priorities such as education, good governance, food security, and anti-corruption measures. University students and local residents emphasized choosing candidates based on integrity, competence, and commitment to public welfare.

Experts, including Naogaon University’s vice-chancellor Hasanat Ali, noted that many in this group are voting for the first time in 18 years, making them a major factor in the election outcome. The Bogura Press Club president observed that youth-focused campaigning is more visible than ever, signaling a potential “voting revolution.”
