In a bid to ensure transparency and build student confidence, the vote count for the DUCSU and hall union elections will be screened live on LED screens installed outside each polling station, reports UNB.
Professor Dr Mohammad Zashim Uddin, Chief Returning Officer of the DUCSU election, confirmed the move in a statement Sunday night, highlighting efforts to make the electoral process more open and credible.
"To inform voters, the Election Commission has announced that bags, mobile phones, smartwatches, electronic devices, water bottles, or any liquid substances will not be allowed inside polling centrs," he said.
In addition, the University of Dhaka will operate a special shuttle service on election day to facilitate student voters' movement across campus.
The special shuttle will run in a circular route from 7:45 am to 3:50 pm on September 9, covering major campus points including the Geology Department, Curzon Hall, Shahbagh, TSC, Udayan School, Teachers' Club, ULAB School and College, Senate Building, and Physical Education Centre.
Meanwhile, campaign activities officially concluded at 11:00 pm on Sunday, marking the end of a spirited final day of electioneering.
Candidates actively engaged in leaflet distribution, face-to-face interactions, and various outreach initiatives across the campus.
A total of 471 candidates will contest for 28 positions in this year's Ducsu election.
