Election Commissioners to Visit Singapore, Bahrain, Sweden for Expat Services

The Election Commission of Bangladesh is set to deploy three commissioners to Singapore, Bahrain, and Sweden for official visits aimed at establishing voter registration and National Identification (NID) services for Bangladeshi expatriates. These tours are scheduled to take place between July 15 and August 5.

Commissioner Abdur Rahmanel Masud will travel to Bahrain from July 15 to July 21. His itinerary includes attending the inauguration of voter registration services and meeting with expatriates to discuss voting and NID services. Following this, Commissioner Md Anwarul Islam Sarker is slated to visit Sweden from July 30 to August 5. Concurrently, Commissioner Brig Gen (retd) Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah is expected in Singapore from July 29 to August 4, also to facilitate these new services.

All expenses for these official trips will be covered by the Election Commission's IDEA Project-2. The initiative underscores the commission's efforts to extend essential services to Bangladeshi citizens residing overseas, ensuring their participation in electoral processes and access to identification documents.
