Election campaigning for the 12th general election is going to end at 8am on Friday.

The election campaigning began with the allocation of the electoral symbols on December 18.

During time, the commission will not allow any rallies, gatherings, processions, and any type of campaigning.

Polling in 299 constituencies will take place from 8am to 4pm on January 7, a day after campaigning ends as the Election Commission earlier cancelled voting in Naogaon-2 following the death of a candidate.

Deployment of the armed forces

Armed forces have already been deployed across the country ahead of the national election slated for January 7.

Armed forces will remain deployed from January 3 to January 10 to ensure peace and order before, during, and after the election day, said an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) media release on Tuesday (January 02, 2024).

The army in coordination with the BGB and Coast Guard will perform duty in 47 bordering upazilas and 4 coastal upazilas respectively.
