“We are publishing three voter lists this year (2025). First one was published on 2 March, the second one was today (31 August), and another supplementary list will be released on 31 October,” he said during a press briefing at the Election Commission Secretariat at Agargaon in the capital.
There are now 6,41,00,455 male voters, 6,22,05,819 female voters, and 1,230 third gender voters across the country, he said.
The number of the country’s voters was 12,37,32,274 on 2 March, the day electoral rolls were updated last. Of them, 6,33,61,615 were males, 6,03,69,665 females, and 994 third gender individuals.
During the latest update published on 31 August, the number of voters increased by 25,75,230, as 47,08,858 fresh voters were incorporated in the voter lists, while 21,33,628 were dropped for different reasons.
Ahead of the next general election, Akhtar Ahmed said the commission would publish another supplementary voter list to incorporate the youths who would turn 18 years by 31 October.
“(Following the next supplementary list) that (the voter lists) will be our final rolls for the upcoming 13th parliamentary election.”
He said the commission was working on designing a proposal to facilitate the physically challenged and visually impaired voters to exercise their voting rights in the next election by easing accessibility to the polling stations.
“We are consulting with stakeholders, including development partners like UNDP. Some proposals are still under review,” the secretary said, hinting that volunteers would be employed to help the physically challenged individuals cast their votes.
