Final voter list to be published on Nov 18

Election Commission (EC) Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed Sunday said the final voter list will be published and the expatriate voter registration app will be launched on November 18, reports BSS.

"Earlier, we wanted to launch the Expatriate Voter Registration App on November 16. Now instead of November 16, we will launch this app (Postal Vote BD) on November 18. We will also publish the final voter list on November 18, " he told reporters at his office at Nirbachan Bhaban in city's Agargaon.

About the hunger strike of Aam Janata Party member secretary Tarique Rahman in front of the EC building, Akhtar Ahmed said, "Legally, we have said through a letter. Now they can appeal and fill the deficiencies. Appeal or amendment or modification, extension of time, these are a common practice. So they will definitely take it into consideration and I sincerely appeal to them to break this hunger strike."
