Secured 70% materials for February elections, confirms authorities
The Election Commission of Bangladesh is making steady progress in its preparations for the planned February election day, with senior secretary Akhtar Ahmed assuring that all required materials will be procured by the end of this month.
In a briefing held at the Election Commission Building in Agargaon, the capital's Agargaon, Ahmed spoke to reporters about the election preparations. He expressed confidence that the remaining materials will be procured by the end of September, ensuring a smooth and efficient election process.
The Election Commission has already procured 70% of the required materials. These include ballot papers and ballot boxes, marking seals, seals, red wax seals, locks for transparent ballot boxes, hessian bags, brass, big and small hessian bags, and gunny bags.
For the crucial "stamp pads" and "indelible inks", the Election Commission has secured assistance from the United Nations Development Agency (UNDP). A portion of these materials is expected to reach the Election Commission this month, with the UNDP assuring the commission that they will supply the items by October 15.
The organization that will supply the "stamp pads" and the indefinite ink, as announced by the top election commission official, is the National Security Printing Press.
The Election Commission aims to complete the field level distribution of the equipment by November 16, ensuring that all necessary materials are in place for the upcoming election day. Ahmed stated that the Election Commission is not concerned about procuring the required equipment, and is confident in its ability to deliver a successful election.
