The Election Commission has bought 1.5 lakh EVMs in phases since 2018 at Tk 2.35 lakh each, almost 11 times the price available in India.

By-elections to Gaibandha-5 constituency has gone out of control, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal said today.

Did you know that mind-reading was an essential trait for the job of an election commissioner? I did not.

Badiul Alam Majumdar discusses the controvery surrounding the Election Commission's decision to use EVMs with The Daily Star.

The Election Commission has said that it is actively considering the installation of CCTV cameras at polling stations for the transparency of elections and also reviewing the matter of using electronic voting machines (EVMs).

Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal said the Election Commission is yet to take the final decision about using electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the next parliamentary election.

We are surprised that the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) has so expeditiously approved tens of billions of taka to purchase thousands of EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) that are planned to be used in the next election due to be held in 2024. It makes little sense because the next election is over five years away.
