The Election Commission (EC) has decided to use electronic voting machines (EVMs) in at least 150 out of the 300 constituencies in the next parliamentary elections.
The decision was taken at a meeting at the commission’s office in Agargaon on Tuesday, said Ashok Kumar Debnath, additional secretary to the Election Commission.
The final number will be decided after assessing EC's capacity of putting EVMs in use, he added.

BNP and its coalition partners, however, boycotted the dialogue.
