The Election Commission (EC) Wednesday received the first consignment of transparent ballot boxes and soon started sending those to some district election offices in Dhaka division, as polls now appear on the horizon after lots of political hiccups, reports UNB.
Around 36,000 ballot boxes of the latest brand, out of some 2.40 lakh sought for a massive voting fray in a new context, already reached the Inland Containers Depot (ICD) at Komolapur in the capital Wednesday.
These imports are going to be used for the first time in Bangladesh for polling in the parliamentary elections scheduled for December 18, closely followed by local polls in upazilas on December 24 and 28.
EC Joint Secretary Md Rafiqul Islam and Deputy Election Commissioner for Dhaka Division Biswas Lutfar Rahman received the consignment on behalf of the commission in the morning.
