Local government elections in Bangladesh are tentatively slated to begin in phases between September and October, following the conclusion of the current monsoon season. This timeline was announced by LGRD Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in parliament.

The government aims to conclude elections for all local government bodies, including union parishads, municipalities, upazila parishads, district councils, and city corporations, within the next year. Union parishad polls are anticipated to be the first to take place, with elections for other local government entities to follow sequentially.

Elections for the recently established Bogura City Corporation, along with 13 other city corporations, are also scheduled within this timeframe. Additionally, the Local Government Division has allocated Tk 6 lakh to each upazila parishad to construct inspection rooms within their complexes, designated for use by Members of Parliament and senior officials.
