The EC, in its plan to stop this, is planning to expand the area it designates as "Rohingya-inhabited special area" .
Under the ongoing nationwide updating of the voter list, voter information has been sspecially ollected from almost 400 Upazilas.
Election Commissioner Abdul Mobarak said the Rohingya refugees continue their efforts to become voters.
"Already we're using special forms in 14 Upazilas in three border districts. Despite all this extra supervision some people are trying to become voters," he said.
He said EC officials, while inspecting a rolls updating at Patiya, Chittagong, found a Rohingya settlement there recently.
Commissioner Abdul Mobarak told the EC meeting that he has learned about the presence of a Rohingya settlement in Patiya and some Rohingya voters as well.
The commissioner said the concerned local-level election officials did not take any steps to include those places in the "special areas" category for special vigil.
He suggested at the meeting that field-level EC officials should be more cautious about voter registration in Rohingya areas and much monitoring is needed.
