The Election Commission (EC) will handover smartcards to all 90 million voters by June next year, reports BSS.
"We are working with an objective of giving smartcards to voters on the Independence Day on March 26 (2015). If it we fail, we will at least start distribution of smartcards on that day by handing over symbolic cards," EC Secretary M Sirajul Islam told news agency.
He said the EC earlier signed a contract with a French company for manufacturing and distributing 90 million smartcards.
EC sources said before giving smart cards, the voters have been given opportunities to correct mistakes, if any, in their national identity (NID) cards.
