Voting progressing peacefully: CEC
DHAKA, Dec 30, 2018 (BSS) – Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) K M Nurul
Huda said voting of the 11th Jatiya Sangsad election is progressing
peacefully across the country except some stray incidents in a few centres.
“Voting is continuing peacefully except some stray incidents in a few
centres in Chattogram and Noakhali,” said the CEC while talking to
journalists after casting his vote at Uttara this morning.
Nurul Huda cast his vote at IES School and College centre in Uttara’s
Sector-5 at 11.15 am. His wife Hosne Ara Huda also cast her vote at the same
centre.
Replying to a question, the CEC said the election officials and law
enforcers were given orders to suspend voting if any centre faces any
trouble.
About the absence of polling agents of candidates at some centres, he said
the EC has nothing to do about it because appointing polling agents at
polling booths is the responsibility of candidates contesting the polls.
He expressed the hope that the voting will continue till 4 pm in a peaceful
manner across the country.
