The law will have to be amended before the system can be introduced.
“More than 500,000 officials and law-enforcers are on duty during elections and don’t get the chance to cast their own votes,” EC Secretariat Deputy Secretary Abdul Wadud told bdnews24.com when asked why the option was being considered despite the opposition to EVMs.
