Don't send ballot papers to centres at night, JaPa tells EC

Jatiya Party, the main opposition party in the parliament, has called upon the Election Commission to send the ballot papers in the morning of election day instead of sending those the night before voting.

The party thinks that vote rigging takes place if the ballot papers are sent to polling centres at night.

The JaPa, led by its secretary general Mujibul Haque, made the request while participating in a dialogue with Election Commission at Nirbachan Bhavan on Sunday.

“The work (voting) is done at the night. What can we say, we have made it happen. It happens (voting on the night before the election),” Mujibul Haque said.
