State Minister Rumana Ali emphasised the government's commitment to ensuring transparency throughout the recruitment process
Voters will get until Oct 31 to apply at their local Upazila Election Offices in order to make the changes they want, said a letter issued on Thursday by EC Senior Assistant Secretary Mahfuza Akter.
The current number of voters in Bangladesh is over 96.2 million. Of them, 5 million are yet to get their National ID (NID) cards.
Meanwhile, the EC will replace the old laminated NIDs with 13-digit identification numbers on new smart cards of 10-digits.
They will have around 25 security check options in three stages, EC officials had said.
About nine months ago, the EC signed a deal of about Tk 8 billion with the French firm, Oberthur Technologies, to make and distribute the smart cards.
