The Election Commission (EC) has set 31 October as the deadline for voters to apply for changes to their voting areas due to a change of residence ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
The schedule was announced in a letter signed by Md Nasir Uddin Chowdhury, senior assistant secretary of the EC Secretariat, on Saturday.
Under the schedule, 31 October is the final date for submitting applications to transfer voter registration following a change of residence. Applications for voter transfers must be issued by 3 November, while 5 November is the deadline for completing the processing of submitted applications.
The letter said the commission had established a timeline for receiving, issuing and disposing of voter transfer applications ahead of elections to local government institutions.
