Mahbub Talukdar passed away on August 24, 2022.
In 2017, he was recommended by a Search Committee headed by a Supreme Court Judge and the president appointed him as an election commissioner along with three other election commissioners and the chief election commissioner.
Talukdar made headlines during his five-year term as election commissioner due to his protest against various decisions of the KM Nurul Huda-led Election Commission.
