The Election Commission, or EC, has adopted special measures in 32 Upazilas in southern Bangladesh to prevent Rohingya refugees from being listed as voters in the updated electoral roll.
The EC issued a 10 point directive to its field officials to implement the measures on Thursday during a coordination meeting before collecting data to update the voter roll on Apr 23.
The 32 Upazilas in Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamati, and Chattogram have been declared ‘special areas’ for the upcoming survey, EC Secretary Helaluddin Ahmed told the media.
