While the two main political camps are locked in frenzied wrangling over the oversight mechanism, the Election Commission is going ahead full throttle on organising the 12th parliamentary polls. The commission has prepared a list of jobs to do before and after announcement of the schedule, according to bdnews24.com. However, the in-progress election management app will offer voters and EC officials all the information about electoral areas, voter numbers, voting centres and candidates. This means the 12th national election countdown will begin on Nov 1. As is tradition, the EC meets the president after sitting with ministries soon after the countdown starts.
