The Election Commission (EC) will publish the updated voters' list on February 3, ahead of the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) elections, an election commissioner said in the city Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda has already said the DCC elections, delayed by two and a half years, will be held by March.
Before publishing the final list the EC will make an 'updated' draft voters' list available to public on January 3 to seek claims and objections from individuals, Commissioner Sohul Hossain told reporters.
Those who earlier failed to enrol themselves as voters will have their names in the final voters' list through application to the EC by January 18, he said.
Preparation for the announcement of DCC election schedule will also be taken shortly after the final voters' list comes out, he added.
The rules and regulations relating to the polls will be finalised in January. The election schedule of the DCC might be announced in mid-February, Commissioner M Sakhawat Hossain said Tuesday.
The tenures of the current DCC elected officials, including mayor, expired on May 24, 2007.
