The Election Commission would publish the draft voter list on August 10 ahead of the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election, official sources said on Monday.
The final voter list will be published on August 31 after making necessary corrections to the draft, the sources added.
According to a press release issued by the commission鈥檚 director (public relations), a supplementary voter list-including citizens born on or before January 1, 2007, and who registered in the voter database by June 30-will be published on August 10. A list of deceased voters will also be published for exclusion from the final roll.
People can submit objections, claims, or correction requests until August 21, the release added. The final list, incorporating the supplementary list, will be published on August 31.
Earlier, on July 29, additional secretary to the Election Commission KM Ali Newaz told BSS that the draft voter list would be published on August 10, followed by the final list after necessary corrections.
However, on July 21, senior secretary to the EC secretariat Akhter Ahmed had said that a total of 4,466,000 new voters had been added to the voter list, which would be reflected in the draft.
