Rival candidates have started campaigning after receiving symbols. Many people had printed the election posters in advance, and yesterday they started pulling them in different neighborhoods of the constituency. Independent candidates for the Awami League will compete for more than 100 seats. At the start of the campaign, there were reports of conflict and violence in some places. The Election Commission (EC) has decided to send ballot papers in the morning of the polling day to most areas, including metropolitan, district, and upazila headquarters, except remote areas. In a letter to the armed forces department, the EC said that the army should be deployed at the upazila and thana levels. Armed forces personnel will be deployed from January 29 to January 10.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal announced the schedule for the 12th parliamentary elections on November 15 amid political disputes. 16 political parties boycotted the elections and are protesting on the streets. On the other hand, 27 political parties are participating in this year&#8217;s elections. The EC rejected all the candidates due to conflict with the leadership of the Democratic Party. As like-minded political parties, including the BNP, boycotted the election, the mood of the festival is somewhat less on the polling grounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Officially yesterday, the returning officers allocated symbols among the 1,896 candidates who contested the election. Out of this, there are 378 independent candidates. The court has already received news that the candidature of nine people has been withdrawn. However, the candidates are contesting in 269 seats with the boat symbol. Among them, 263 are nominated by the Awami League, and six are from a 14-party alliance. However, the main competition with the Awami League in the election will be the independent candidates of the Awami League. Awami League-nominated candidates can be challenged for more than 100 seats. Because 28 members of the parliament of the Awami League are holding independent elections this time, Although the Awami League has withdrawn the boat symbol from 26 seats for the Jatiya Party (Japa), Japa may face a tough challenge with the plow symbol. As soon as they got the symbols from the DC offices in different districts, the candidates started campaigning. Many candidates have been accused of violating the code of conduct. And many have started campaigning from the beginning, following the rules. Jatiya Party-JP Chairman Anwar Hossain Manju MP, one of the partners of the Awami League-led 14-party alliance, received the boat symbol and exchanged greetings with leaders and workers of the Awami League and its affiliates and Jatiya Party-JP coming from Pirojpur district headquarters, Swarupkathi, Bhandaria, Kaukhali, and Indurkani upazilas. . Awami League&#8217;s candidate for Chittagong-7 Constituency Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud started campaigning by cycling in the constituency. Jatiya Party (JPA) candidate Syed Abu Hossain Babla staged a huge showdown in the Dhaka-4 constituency, seeking votes for Langal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Ballot papers will go to the center in the morning: The EC has decided to send the ballot papers in the morning on the day of polling to most of the areas, including metropolitan, district, and upazila headquarters. However, the returning officers will discuss with the concerned police authorities those centers where it is not possible to send the ballot papers in the morning, including remote hilly areas, Haor, and Charanchal. Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal commented that it will increase the transparency of voting. He said it was the demand of many. Ballot papers going to the center on polling day morning will increase transparency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">EC deputy secretary about sending the ballot paper in the morning. The circular, signed by Atiyar Rahman, has already been sent to the returning officers. According to the circular, the returning officer should take the plan and get the approval of the Election Commission by December 31 to reach the polling station safely on the morning of the ballot paper polling. Earlier in 2018, in the 11th parliamentary elections, the ballot papers along with other voting materials were also delivered to the centers on the day before the polls. BNP and like-minded parties have been complaining that the Awami League candidate&#8217;s supporters sealed the ballots and stuffed them in the boxes the night before the polls. They call that election the night&#8217;s vote, and they call the present Awami League government the night&#8217;s government. On sending the ballot paper in the morning, CEC said, &#8216;If there is any doubt about the fairness of the election, it will be reduced a little by going to the ballot in the morning. And regarding remote areas, CEC said the returning officers will seek approval from us in this regard. We will consider and approve their proposal. Moreover, the ballot papers will go as far as possible on the morning of the polling day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Addressing the polling agents, he said the ballot boxes would go out two to four days earlier. Check whether the ballot box is transparent or not (on the morning of polling). There must be a polling agent. The polling agents have to check and sign. The ballot paper was blank, and the ballots were gone in the morning\u2014everyone should see that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Instructions to preserve and protect the confidentiality of ballot papers: The Election Commission has instructed the officials concerned to preserve the various types of seals, including the ballot papers, before distributing them to the presiding officers. A circular was issued in this regard yesterday. The circular further states that as soon as the polling is over, the presiding officer shall notify the contesting candidates, their election agents or polling agents, and election officials present at the polling station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime Desk: The official campaign for the 12th National Parliament election has started.
