The lead-up to the local government elections this time has been relatively subdued this time due to the pandemic. Candidates from Awami League, BNP, Jatiya Party, Islami Andolan Bangladesh and Jatiya Ganatantrik Party are vying for the post of mayor in these municipal areas. The environment and situation in the voting areas are good. All arrangements have been made for voting using EVMs,” said Ashok Kumar Debnath, additional secretary to the Election Commission. Of these, 29 municipalities will conduct voting using EVMs while the remaining 32 will have ballot voting.
