Abdul Kader, convener of BAGSAS, has demanded that Dhaka University students listed on the voter roll be allowed to vote in the Daksu election without requiring hall identity cards.
He pointed out that a significant number of students are non-residential and do not possess hall IDs, while many residential students have been unable to renew their cards due to financial hardship. “Making hall ID the sole proof for voting would be unjust,” Kader said, urging the university to accept student ID cards or other documents as valid alternatives.
He emphasized that the administration must adopt a student-friendly approach to ensure that every name on the voter list translates into voting rights. BAGSAS announced that the demand will be formally submitted to the Election Commission in the coming working days.
