Election Commissioner Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah on Wednesday said the upcoming election will bring a derailed electoral system back on track. The election commissioner said the minimum age for election observers has been reduced to 21 years, noting that while this allows broader participation, it also raises concerns about lack of experience. Calling for collective efforts, Sanaullah urged all stakeholders to work together to ensure a credible and conscience-driven election in 2026. Urging observers to remain vigilant, Sanaullah said their feedback would be crucial in further improving the newly introduced postal voting system. “I hope that together we can deliver on our national expectations and present the nation with a free, fair and credible election,” he added.
