Voter registration for Bangladeshi expatriates living in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates has been suspended due to incomplete address information submitted through the ‘Postal Vote BD’ app.
Election Commission (EC) officials said it will not be possible to send postal ballot papers without accurate and complete addresses, said a PID handout.
The EC launched the ‘Postal Vote Bd’ app on 18 November and opened it on 19 November initially for expatriate voters living in 53 countries located in East Asian, South American and African regions ahead of the 13th national election and the referendum on the July National Charter, both are likely to be held in a single day in February 2026.
The Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday withdrew the region-based timeframes for expatriate Bangladeshis registering as postal voters, allowing them to complete online registration from anywhere in the world at any time starting from 12 am Wednesday midnight (November 26) till December 18 next to vote in the upcoming national election and referendum.
Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed of the Election Commission came up with the information while talking to reporters after a meeting with a team from TikTok at the Nirbachan Bhaban in the city.
