Canadian Electoral Commission Set to Initiate Voter Registration Program for Overseas Citizens in Canada
Chief Election Commissioner of Bangladesh to Launch Voter Registration Programme for Expatriates in Canada
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin is set to visit Canada from August 28 to September 8, 2025, with the primary objective of inaugurating the voter registration and National Identity Card (NID) issuance programme for expatriate Bangladeshis residing in the country[1][2][3].
During his visit, CEC Nasir Uddin will hold official events in Toronto and Ottawa, where he will formally launch the registration process. He will also meet with expatriate voters to discuss the voter registration process, available facilities, and address any issues related to voter rights and election procedures[2][3]. This meeting intends to provide guidance and ensure a smooth and inclusive voting experience for expatriates in future elections[2][3].
Lalmonirhat District Election Officer Md Lutful Kabir Sarkar will accompany CEC Nasir Uddin during the visit[2]. The necessary equipment has already been installed, and embassy staff training has been completed prior to the CEC's arrival[2][3].
Following the official engagements, CEC Nasir Uddin will take personal leave in Vancouver from September 4 to 6 before returning to Bangladesh by September 8[2].
The Canadian launch of the voter registration and NID issuance programme for expatriate Bangladeshis complements similar initiatives in countries like Japan and others, expanding expatriate voter registration services internationally[3].
In summary, the visit serves to: - Officially launch voter registration and NID issuance services for Bangladeshi expatriates in Canada. - Engage directly with the expatriate community to facilitate voter participation abroad. - Oversee operational readiness and provide strategic guidance for expatriate voter inclusion.
This visit is not related to any other country apart from Canada[1]. No further specific purposes or collaborations with Canadian officials are mentioned for the visit[1].
