With one day to go for the national election, the Election Commission has started delivering voting materials to all the polling centres of the capital.

Since Saturday (Dec 29) morning, the process of distributing voting materials started from Returning officers’ offices.

Presiding officers collected the voting materials including ballots and ballot boxes from concerned returning officers to designated polling centres. Law enforcers accompanied each team, carrying the materials to centres across the city.

Voting materials for Dhaka-8 constituency were distributed from Kakrail’s Wills Little Flower School, where Returning Officer Ali Azam was overseeing the distribution.

Around 12pm, Presiding Officer Mamunur Rashid was seen preparing polling booths at Siddheshwari polling station with the help of assistant presiding officers and members of law enforcing agencies.

In Siddheswari Boys High School, Presiding Officer Ziaul Kabir said they are setting up six booths for 86 voters registered in his centre.

The preparation was different in EVM-exclusive polling centers as no ballots or ballot boxes are required there.

Presiding officer of Kabi Nazrul Government College, one of the EVM-exclusive polling centres, Abul Kalam told Bangla Tribune, “We have taken all preparations. Members of the law enforcing agencies are also here.”

“We are confident of staring voting at scheduled time,” he added.
