Additional Secretary of Election Commission (EC) Secretariat Ashok Kumar Debnath has said the work of printing the ballot papers for the upcoming 12th parliamentary elections will be completed by December 31, reports BSS.
"The work of ballot paper printing is underway. Besides, from December 25, the ballot paper will reach the districts with the help of law enforcement forces," he told a press conference at the Nirbachan Bhaban in the city's Agargaon area on Tuesday.
Currently, printing of ballots is going on in three government presses, including BG Press, he said, adding that there is no specific budget for the printing of ballot papers. However, Tk 330milion have already been given initially to this end, he added.
The ballot papers will be handed to the returning officers' offices, he said, adding that later these will be preserved in the office of returning officers and assistant returning officers.
To avoid reprinting, he said the ballot papers will be printed first for those districts where no case is pending.
He said the Electoral Inquiry Committee and the Executive Magistrate are working at the field level to follow the electoral code of conduct properly.
