The task of updating voter list with photographs will start tomorrow in the six divisional cities including the capital city of Dhaka. Enumerators of the Election Commission will start making door-to-door visits in six city corporations --Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Barisal, Khulna and Sylhet-- and will continue until October 5.

In the fourth and final stage of the voter list update programme, enumerators will collect necessary information for registering fresh voters, deletion of names of the deceased and transfer of names from one electoral area to another. On June 15, the EC started the nationwide task of voter list updating with photographs, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

Photographs of fresh voters will be taken at the registration centres of each ward of the respective city corporations from October 12 to November 10. If any prospective voter misses the deadline for photograph, he or she will get seven days to appear before the respective server centre to enroll as voters. The EC website said, people born on January 1, 1992 or before will be eligible to register their names as new voter. Those who will become voters this year will get national ID cards, EC sources said.
