The EC is considering postal ballots, online voting, or proxy voting to include non-resident Bangladeshis in the upcoming elections
The commission is evaluating three potential methods: postal ballots, online voting, and proxy voting
Election Commissioner Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah believes proxy voting is a suitable method for expatriate Bangladeshis to cast their ballots
“Ten million voters is a large number; this population has the capacity to change the (election result),” says Prof Razzaque
The EC will meet with experts and representatives of institutions and universities to discuss the issue in April
Under this method, a person in Bangladesh will cast a vote for an overseas voter
The move aims to simplify the voting process for overseas Bangladeshis
